Benjamin Marwell commented on MNG-4559: --------------------------------------- eval is necessary. Eg look at this IBM code, they also need to support ksh (which is a posix shell used by AIX as a default): [https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/blob/bd54569d3322c4321a7dda4fcf94d65f85bf13bf/dev/com.ibm.ws.kernel.boot.ws-server/publish/bin/server#L695-L716] Follow the eval methods and how they define them. (hint: EPLv1). (hint 2: they support spaces and comments) > MAVEN_OPTS are incorrectly resolved in Unix > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-4559 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-4559 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Command Line > Affects Versions: 2.2.1, 3.0.5 > Environment: OS: Linux, 2.6.32-11-generic, amd64. > Java: 1.6.0_17 > Also Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.9.2 running on x86_64 > Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_51 > Reporter: Maxim Podkolzine > Priority: Major > > I'm trying to pass a quoted parameter through MAVEN_OPTS, e.g. > MAVEN_OPTS="-Dfoo='bar baz'" > As a result the quotes are not resolved, causing Java failure: > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: baz' > ... > I couldn't figure out a way to make it work. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
