Command line parameter problems
Summary: Command line parameter problems
Product: Ant
Version: 1.5
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Enhancement
Priority: Other
Component: Core tasks
AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: Andrew.Premdas@teleca.com
When processing command line parameters (using <arg />) Ant will put quotes
around the parameter if it has a space in it. This default behaviour makes it
impossible to construct complex parameters. For example I want to use my build
script to start Tomcat and need the following parameter.
-Duser.dir="C:\Java\Apache Tomcat 4.0"
With Ant I can only produce
"-Duser.dir="C:\Java\Apache Tomcat 4.0""
The addition of a noQuotes property for arg could solve this e.g.
<arg value=-Duser.dir="C:\Java\Apache Tomcat 4.0" noQuotes="true" />
