[jira] Commented: (MNG-2190) -Dkey=value parameters cannot include
spaces in the value
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2190?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=204602#action_204602 ]
Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-2190:
------------------------------------
The commands all work in Maven 3.x.

> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2190
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Command Line
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2
> Environment: Darwin

> Even if I properly escape spaces in a path at the shell level, Maven seems to re-split the command parameters. For instance, on Unix, the following should all run the compile goal with a property foo="bar baz":
> $ mvn compile "-Dfoo=bar baz"
> $ mvn compile -Dfoo="bar baz"
> $ mvn compile -Dfoo=bar\ baz
> But in fact, Maven fails, complaining that "baz" is an invalid task:
> [INFO] Scanning for projects...
> [INFO] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
> [INFO] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] Invalid task 'baz': you must specify a valid lifecycle phase, or a goal in the format plugin:goal or pluginGroupId:pluginArtifactId:pluginVersion:goal
> [INFO] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch
> [INFO] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Is this intended behavior? Seems as if Maven is unnecessarily splitting the string, when the OS already does as much.
> I was merely trying to run:
> mvn deploy:deploy-file "-Dfile=/Users/me/Desktop/Bellicose SDK/lib/Bellicose.jar" ...
> In my case, it's practical to work around by renaming the Bellicose SDK folder, but it seems as if Windows users stuck with "C:\Documents and Settings\..." might have a harder time of it.
