Github user jwadamson commented on the issue:

So I think I figured out some of this in terms of why escaping was so funny.
Also found an issue with sed on mac (no group-0 reference) in my earlier
fix.
The bash variable replacement syntax is perfect, but while it works on bash
and ksh, does not on dash (other shells unknown).
Outside of that, the only problem (other than non-mac, non-ubuntu testing)
remaining is whitespace handling.
I looked into using awk insetad of sed. That might be better in terms of
portability, but has the same empty line/newline style problems parsing
input arguments.
I can not figure out a way to do a 100% white-space-preserving string
replacement using the typical commands.
My sample command is:
>
> ./ant --execdebug -v
> "-Dfoo=dollar\$_backtick\`_single'_double\"_trailingbackslash\\"
> "-Dbar=trailingnewline
> "
And test build.xml is :
> <project default="default">
> <target name="default">
> <echo>start</echo>
> <echo>foo=${foo}</echo>
> <echo message="bar=${bar}X${line.separator} Y"/>
> <echo>done</echo>
> </target>
> </project>
Current version which includes hard coded flags for using any of bash, sed,
or awk is here
https://github.com/jwadamson/ant-1/tree/fix-60150_1.9.x
and
https://github.com/jwadamson/ant-1/blob/fix-60150_1.9.x/src/script/ant
I am now sub'd to the dev and user ant lists. If I the thread for this
topic I can include this info.
