Robert Scholte commented on MCOMPILER-99:
-----------------------------------------
Could someone verify if this is still a problem? With Windows7 I'm not able to
reproduce this issue.
The problem should be caused by the
[plexus-compiler|http://plexus.codehaus.org/plexus-components/plexus-compiler/].
Meanwhile we've already updated its version from 1.6 (used by
maven-compiler-plugin-2.1) to 1.8.2. Strange enough [Plexus'
Jira|http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/PLXCOMP/component/12541] doesn't refer to
such an issue.
> Spaces in for external executable are not accepted

>
> Key: MCOMPILER-99
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-99
> Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Environment: Windows XP
> Reporter: Jean-Marc Borer
>
> When the path to the external executable in <executable> contains space(s),
> the build will fail: the command is misunderstood because it stops at the
> first space encountered.
> Example:
> <executable>C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin\javac.exe</executable>
> The plugin will try to execute "C:\Program" instead.
> On windows the only workaround I know of is:
> <executable>C:\PROGRA~1\java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin\javac.exe</executable>
