    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7131?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17709458#comment-17709458 ] 

Jeff Pierson commented on MNG-7131:
-----------------------------------

I'm seeing a similar issue in Alpha 5 with an existing {{maven.config}} file that I had used back with Maven 3. The content of the file is as shown below.

{{-s .mvn/settings.xml}}

When I run mvn clean install with Maven 4 I get the following error:

{{[ERROR] Error executing Maven.}}
{{[ERROR] The specified user settings file does not exist: C:\projects\online-application-service\ .mvn\settings.xml}}

I noticed that there was a space before ".mvn" in the path so I removed it from maven.config in my .mvn folder and it worked.

maven.conf working in Maven 4 Alpha 5 (notice the space removed after {{-s.}}
{{-s.mvn/settings.xml}}

> 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]
