            Bug ID: 64790
           Summary: <javac> task loses classpath libraries when forked and
                    special characters exist in the file path since Ant
                    1.10.7
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.10.7
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: regression
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
          Assignee: notifications@ant.apache.org
          Reporter: xma@tibco.com
  Target Milestone: ---

After upgrading to the latest version of Ant (1.10.7+), our project will no
longer compile due to the problem of classpath when all the following
conditions are matched :
- Use the attribute fork=yes
- A large amount of source code or java libraries in classpath (The length of
the "javac" command line generated by Ant exceed more than 4000 characters)
- Some special characters are located in the file path. e.g., Hashtag "#".
- Use ANT 1.10.7+

I noticed that the option "-classpath" is moved into an arg file after this
pull request https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/98 which results in an
compilation error from javac because of the file path with special characters
in an arg file.

I've pushed a fix for https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64912,
which I believe should fix this issue too.

For example : 
<javac destdir="/tmp/#javac" optimize="true" fork="yes"
executable="/path/to/javac"  memoryMaximumSize="2048m" debug="on" source="1.8"
encoding="UTF-8">

This appears similar to https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64912.
We have been able to narrow it down to only Java 8 version of javac which shows
this issue. Which vendor and version of Java installation do you use?
