Spaces in classpath
Hello,
Excuse me if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't see it on
the FAQ page.
My execution of the "java" built-in task fails because my the file paths in
the classpath have spaces in them. (Running on Windows NT). Basically I want
to simulate putting double-quotes around the classpath, like:
java -cp "f:\Filepath With Spaces" com.mycompany.MyClass
How do I do this? Or do I have to remove the spaces from my filepath?
Thanks.

Yes, I've tried it. It seems to work now.
Thankyou,

I have already fixed it. If the original poster has access to the nightly
build, could you please try that?

OK, this sounds like a bug. Would you please file a bug report at
<http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla> so that it doesn't get lost?
Thanks

I can't fix it myself but I just wanted to comment that I
think not handling spaces in pathnames is a serious
bug that will make ant unusable for a lot of people
on Windows.
Personally, I hate spaces in pathnames but I appear
to be in the minority. Lots of people use them and
they should be supported.

I'd say remove the spaces from your classpath for now if you don't have
the time to track down the problem.
If you know where the problem is, you can simply correct it in your own
copy of Ant.
If you want the official distribution to behave correctly too, send in a
patch, or post how the fix is done and let someone else generate the
patch.
