the expect result should be several class paths that separated by ``:'', in one 
line. We can ignore it if it doesn't match

I think we need the make the code generic enough for all (possible) other 
cases. Adding special delimiters in java code then parsing in shell is a little 
bit too tricky.

And as I described above, this problem only occurs with the combination of 
multiple conditions for hbase. We may not want to have some special treatment 
in the flume core feature. I'd prefer to only do parsing in the script, such as 
head -n1.

In most case, ppl may just want to call:

{code}
$ java -cp flume-ng-core-1.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT.jar   
org.apache.flume.tools.GetJavaProperty [one property]
{code}

and expect to see the expected property without seeing weird delimiters. 

As Mike said, we should make it simple, and easy to understand.

> The hbase gc info outputs to stdout and screwed up the flume-ng script. 
> The root cause is the combination of several factors:
> 1. turn on hbase gc log by:
> {code}
> export HBASE_OPTS="$HBASE_OPTS -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails 
> -XX:+PrintGCDateS
> tamps -Xloggc:$HBASE_HOME/logs/gc-hbase.log" 
> {code}
> 2. the gc log directory is protected by limiting the permission as 755, and 
> owned by hbase user.
> 3. use another user, such as flume, to execute the script.
> Since flume user doesn't have write permission to the hbase gc log directory, 
> jvm will output the gc info to stdout, and the flume script will be screwed 
> up. 
> A simple but tricky fix could be adding ``grep hbase'' in the scrip to filter 
> out the gc info:
> {code}
> 103     local HBASE_CLASSPATH=""
> 104     local HBASE_JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH=$(HBASE_CLASSPATH="$FLUME_CLASSPATH" \
> 105         ${HBASE_IN_PATH} org.apache.flume.tools.GetJavaProperty \
> 106         java.library.path | grep hbase 2>/dev/null)
> {code}
