Using the ant 1.3.beta3 I can pass spaces as args. This is on a win2k box
with JDK 1.3. I think you mentioned in a previous post you were running on
RedHat...have you checked the "ant" shell script to see if it's correctly
handling spaces in arguments? I'm guessing that's where the problem lies.
Try starting it via the "by hand" method (set up the env manually and run
java -classpath "<your classpath>" -Dant.home="${ANT_HOME}" $ANT_OPTS
org.apache.tools.ant.Main -Dbleh="this and that" spotless
If that works, then the start script is stripping out the quotes, so the
command being invoked is:
java ...... org.apache.tools.ant.Main -Dbleh=this and that spotless
which corresponds to your error message.

I'm trying to use the passed in argument to check out source code from
StarTeam using a label. I suppose I could just not use spaces, but I
shouldn't have to do that.
Are there any suggesstions for a way to do that, other than having a Perl
script rewrite that one variable before I run ant.

This might be an OS problem. Are you using Win95/98? If so, there was
a thread on this a month or two ago on this list.
