Key: MAVEN-786
Summary: maven Linux shell script incorrectly quotes arguments it passes through
to Java
Type: Bug
Status: Reopened
Priority: Minor
Original Estimate: Unknown
Time Spent: Unknown
Remaining: Unknown
Project: maven
Fix Fors:
1.1
Versions:
1.1
Assignee:
Reporter: John Farrell

Environment: Linux (in my case, Mandrake 9.1)
Description:
If I want to pass a Java property with a space in it through to my goal,
for example,
maven -e "-Dminestar.release=stable potatoes" zip
maven incorrectly quotes the parameters when passing them to Java resulting in:
BUILD FAILED
Goal "potatoes" does not exist in this project.
HERE'S THE FIX:
Edit the maven shell script. Down the bottom are two lines which say:
$MAIN_CLASS $@
Change them to
$MAIN_CLASS "$@"
This tells the shell to quote parameters individually. The bash manual says:
@ Expands to the positional parameters, starting from one. When
the expansion occurs within double quotes, each parameter
expands to a separate word. That is, "$@" is equivalent to "$1"
"$2" ... When there are no positional parameters, "$@" and $@
expand to nothing (i.e., they are removed).
It took me ages to find this trick for our own system, I know it's confusing as hell.
