**[Michael Osipov](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=michael-o)** commented The funny thing is that the most recent Javadoc documentation does not even document the argument file behavior. It is completely unclear and opaque. This is for Java 8 .bq An argument file can include javac options and source file names in any combination. The arguments within a file can be space-separated or newline-separated. If a file name contains embedded spaces, then put the whole file name in double quotation marks. Java 11 says: Noting about this. Not even mention backslash or colon. Just made a quick test with 11, it still requires backslash escapes, sigh...what a mess. It does not require any escaping if you don't quite.. Oracle's lack of documentation is just frustrating. [Thorsten Schöning](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=tschoening), your actual proposal is to unconditionally escape backslashes? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
