NullPointerException if user specifies "-Debug"

           Summary: NullPointerException if user specifies "-Debug"
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


If the user mistakenly specifies "-Debug" instead of "-debug" you will get a 
NullPointerException.

The reason is in the parsing of -D properties at line 383 of 
Main.processArgs(String[]). The "-Debug" is incorrectly interpreted as a 
property with name "ebug" and a value of null.

And since the NullPointerException does not have a message, the user gets 
nothing printed to System.err (You might want to consider that if the message 
== null, do a Throwable.printStackTrace(System.err)? )
