An FYI on the escaping/quoting as that's come up twice and isn't the issue.
public class Arguments {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (String arg : args) {
System.out.printf("[%s]", arg);
}
System.out.println();
}
}
$ java Arguments mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true
-Darguments="-DskipTests=true -DfailIfNoTests=false"
[mvn][release:prepare][-DdryRun=true][-Darguments=-DskipTests=true
-DfailIfNoTests=false]
$ java Arguments mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true
"-Darguments=-DskipTests=true -DfailIfNoTests=false"
[mvn][release:prepare][-DdryRun=true][-Darguments=-DskipTests=true
-DfailIfNoTests=false]
$ java Arguments mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true
-Darguments=-DskipTests=true" "-DfailIfNoTests=false
[mvn][release:prepare][-DdryRun=true][-Darguments=-DskipTests=true
-DfailIfNoTests=false]
$ java Arguments mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true
-Darguments=-DskipTests=true' '-DfailIfNoTests=false
[mvn][release:prepare][-DdryRun=true][-Darguments=-DskipTests=true
-DfailIfNoTests=false]
$ java Arguments mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true
-Darguments=-DskipTests=true\ -DfailIfNoTests=false
[mvn][release:prepare][-DdryRun=true][-Darguments=-DskipTests=true
-DfailIfNoTests=false]
The next one just to be goofy :)
$ java Arguments mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true
-Da"rg"um'en'ts="-"Ds'k'ipTe"sts=tr"ue\ -Df"ailIf"NoTest's'=false
[mvn][release:prepare][-DdryRun=true][-Darguments=-DskipTests=true
-DfailIfNoTests=false]
And finally an actually broken one:
$ java Arguments mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true -Darguments=-DskipTests=true
-DfailIfNoTests=false
[mvn][release:prepare][-DdryRun=true][-Darguments=-DskipTests=true][-DfailIfNoTests=false]
The problem isn't with the plugin but the Apache parent pom. Thanks, Benson,
for the feedback on that. There're half dozen committers on that pom so I'm
not sure who has the objection to allowing -Darguments to be used.
I've created this jira and attached a patch. Hopefully we can either fix it or
document it as intentionally not working and give reasons and workarounds like
the ones you suggest. I'm fine with either outcome.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-35
On a side note,... Happy new year to all! :)
