First, make sure you're using the install of Ant you expect. Linux
often comes with a pre-installed Ant which might be older than the one
you think you are using, which ant.sh automatically use by default.
Use the package manager to find out if Ant is pre-installed.
Second, this sounds like an issue with ant, the Shell script in
$ANT_HOME/bin that starts the Ant VM, although it's strange no one
would have noticed it before.
Which version of Ant as you using BTW? --DD

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.
