Quoting issue
How do you escape apostrophes? I having a small issue running exec, I
have the following:
user.properties snippet
nshome=c\:/Program Files/Netscape/Users/default
build.xml snippet
<property name="nscert" value="S1 Corp's VeriSign, Inc. ID"/>
<exec dir="${afi.packaging.work}" executable="signtool"
failonerror="true">
<arg line="-d${nshome} -c9 -k${nscert} --verbosity -1 -Z ${archive}.jar
-e.class -e.properties . "/>
</exec>
error:
c:\projects\afi54\build\signcode.xml:72: unbalanced quotes in
-dc:/Program Files/Netscape/Users/default -c9 -kS1 Corp's
VeriSign, Inc. ID --verbosity -1 -Z appletBridge.jar -e.class
-e.properties .

I'm using ant 1.4.1, w2k sp2.
Any ideas?

Why not make the changes to the appropriate file, post the CVS diff -u of
that file to ant-dev and it'll make its way into the source tree:
documentation is an important contribution to any Apache project, and your
effort would be valued.
Also, what is wrong with the <signjar> task that prevented you from using
it?

As a follow up, can the documentation for the arg tage be clarified? It says "a
single command-line argument; can contain space characters" but seems like it should
include other command-line parsing break characters such as double-quote and single
quote.
A side note: In Perl it is a common mistake to use exec with just one parameter:
exec "$cmd $parm1 $parm2 $parm3";
instead of
exec ($cmd, $parm1, $parm2, $parm3);
The first, bad, way causes all kinds of quoting grief. Unless, of course, you WANT
the shell to parse the command line before passing it to exec().
Just remember that the arguments to main() are universally a list, not a string.

Try using <arg value="..."> for each exec parameter instead of <arg
line="...">. Exec really likes a vector of strings better than having to
parse a line into words.

Unlikely, since the error is in org.apache.tools.ant.types.Commandline.translateCommandline, not signtool. See my earlier comment on passing parameters to exec with or without shell parsing.

The value passed to signtool probably needs to be enclosed
in quotes, try
<property name="nscert" value=""S1 Corp's VeriSign, Inc.
ID""/>
