Hello,

I've been developing various configuration scripts and I noticed that when 
I pass arguments through the command like such as -Dusername="firstname 
lastname" only the part prior to the space is registered. So when I 
reference ${username} it will return "firstname". Is there any workaround 
for this? I know this doesn't occur on windows but it seems linux ignores 
the quotation marks (I've also tried single quotes.)
The argument is to be directly used in a java task but seeing as I am not 
seeing the entire value in a simple echo statement, I am pretty sure the 
issue is in the argument passing.
Has this issue been brought up before? I haven't been able to find any 
info in the mailing list archives.

Thank you very much.
