ant exec task trouble parsing quotes

[Ben Tu <bt...@adobe.com>]

Hi,
I am trying to run a java command using exec task in ant.
I ran into the error because one of the java command argument has space between.
Any idea? Please help.
Thanks, 

Here is my ant task in build.xml file:
			    <exec dir="${temp-dir}" executable="${java}">
					<arg value="-jar"/>
					<arg value="${tools-dir}/test.jar" />			
					<arg value="-libraryjars"/>
					<arg value="${env.JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib /rt.jar"/>
					<arg value="-dontusemixedcaseclassnames"/>
					<arg value="-renamesourcefileattribute"/>
					<arg value="SourceFile"/>
					<arg value="-keepattributes"/>
					<arg value="SourceFile,LineNumberTable"/>
					<arg value="@../../../built/temp.pro"/>
					<arg value="-injars"/>
					<arg value="../../../built/classes"/>
					<arg value="-outjars"/>
					<arg value="../../..built/temp"/>
					<arg value="-printmapping"/>
					<arg value="../../../built/teting.txt"/>
				</exec>

Here is an output:

     [exec] Current OS is Windows XP
     [exec] Executing 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_10\bin\java' with arguments:
     [exec] '-jar'
