[jira] [Created] (MNG-7131) maven.config doesn't handle arguments with spaces in them

Stefan Oehme created MNG-7131:
---------------------------------

             Summary: maven.config doesn't handle arguments with spaces in them
                 Key: MNG-7131
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7131
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Command Line
    Affects Versions: 3.6.3
            Reporter: Stefan Oehme


I tried putting a path with a space in the maven.config like so:
{code:java}
"-Dmy.path=/some/path with/a/space"
{code}
When asking for the my.path property inside Maven, I get the path with a trailing quote
{code:java}
/some/path with/a/space"
{code}
The file is parsed by [splitting it by whitespace|https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/c3cf29438e3d65d6ee5c5726f8611af99d9a649a/maven-embedder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cli/MavenCli.java#L386]. I suggest replacing that code with the much better [CommandLineUtils.translateCommandline(argLine)|https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-utils/blob/85a4a3c534752919dd97d757d4ef0fdb6d40eb8c/src/main/java/org/codehaus/plexus/util/cli/CommandLineUtils.java#L412]
