> 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

> 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.
