Eric Schwarzenbach commented on EXEC-94:
----------------------------------------
I am really confused about the quoting. My experience was that the default (do
quoting) worked fine as long as I used arguments that didn't need quoting. As
soon as I had an argument that had a space in it, the quoting screwed it up,
and I had use the addArgument with the boolean parameter for quoting and make
it false. Then it worked fine. That's about as messed up as possible.
> CommandLine unconditionally trims arguments

> Key: EXEC-94
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXEC-94
> Project: Commons Exec
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Major
>
> The CommandLine private Argument class unconditionally trims argument values.
> This is wrong; it should be possible to pass arguments as-is to the executor.
> Fixing this unilaterally might break some code, so it is probably necessary
> to introduce a new method, for example:
> addRawArgument(String)
> This should save the exact argument without trimming and without quoting.
