-----------------------------------

             Summary: javadoc-plugin does not double backslashes in argument file
                 Key: MJAVADOC-469
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-469
             Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: javadoc
    Affects Versions: 2.10.4
            Reporter: Ilya Basin


On Windows `generate-rest-docs` goal of `maven-jira-plugin` calls `maven-javadoc-plugin` with:

    {code}additionalparam: -output "C:\path\to\target\classes\resourcedoc.xml"{code}

If this argument was passed to `javadoc.exe` directly, I'm pretty sure this would work. However, the javadoc plugin generates an argument file[1] named "options" and executes:

    {code}javadoc.exe ... @options{code}

The file contains all arguments with unescaped backslashes, although javadoc command documentation[2] suggests:

{quote}If a filename contains embedded spaces, put the whole filename in double quotes, and double each backslash ("My Files\\Stuff.java"){quote}
