            Bug ID: 57264
           Summary: Exec arg/line parser removes dash symbol from command
                    line arguments
           Product: Ant
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
          Assignee: notifications@ant.apache.org
          Reporter: muryshkin@gmail.com

Test setup: Ant 1.9.4 on Debian Jessie, JRE 1.7.0

Need to pass argument "-f" or "--file" to command line via exec task.

All this is not working (called tool reports that an argument without dash, "f"
or "file" was called.

<arg value="-f"/>
<arg value="--file"/>

<arg line="-f"/>
<arg line="--file"/>

--- Comment #1 from Stefan Bodewig <bo...@apache.org> ---
Hmm, seems to work for me.

$ cat /tmp/exec.xml 
<project>
  <exec executable="uname">
    <arg value="-a"/>
  </exec>
</project>
$ ant -f /tmp/exec.xml 
Buildfile: /tmp/exec.xml
     [exec] Linux brick 3.13.0-39-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 28 13:30:27
UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Can you please run "ant -v" to see what's going on?  For me it says

     [exec] Current OS is Linux
     [exec] Executing 'uname' with arguments:
     [exec] '-a'
     [exec] 
     [exec] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
     [exec] not part of the command.

and the dash is there (obviously not only inside the logs) as "uname a" would
cause an error.
