-Dkey=value parameters cannot include spaces in the value

Key: MNG-2190
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2190
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: Command Line
Versions: 2.0.2
Environment: Darwin
Reporter: Gordon Henriksen
Even if I properly escape spaces in a path at the shell level, Maven seems to
re-split the command parameters. For instance, on Unix, the following should
all run the compile goal with a property foo="bar baz":
$ mvn compile "-Dfoo=bar baz"
$ mvn compile -Dfoo="bar baz"
$ mvn compile -Dfoo=bar\ baz
But in fact, Maven fails, complaining that "baz" is an invalid task:
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Invalid task 'baz': you must specify a valid lifecycle phase, or a
goal in the format plugin:goal or
pluginGroupId:pluginArtifactId:pluginVersion:goal
[INFO]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch

Is this intended behavior? Seems as if Maven is unnecessarily splitting the
string, when the OS already does as much.
I was merely trying to run:
mvn deploy:deploy-file "-Dfile=/Users/me/Desktop/Bellicose
SDK/lib/Bellicose.jar" ...
In my case, it's practical to work around by renaming the Bellicose SDK folder,
but it seems as if Windows users stuck with "C:\Documents and Settings\..."
might have a harder time of it.
