http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41307 Summary: Single quoted command line properties are evaluated before being passed Product: Ant Version: 1.7.0 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Wrapper scripts AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] As of version 1.6.2, the ant launcher shell script evaluates single quoted properties given on the command line (-D). This causes the expansion of system variables and backtick quoted commands. This is not correct behavior for single quoted properties. The "ant" shell script uses: (line 38 in ant 1.7.0) ant_exec_args="$ant_exec_args \"$arg\"" This fixes the problem: (but may not be the final solution) ant_exec_args="$ant_exec_args '$arg'" Here is a test that compares 1.6.1 behavior and 1.6.2, as well as 1.7.0. This test has been run on Linux RedHat-AS 4.0u3.
