Hi Dominique, I am running version 1.5.4. Unfortunately it's not an option for me to update to another version, it is prepackaged with our product. I am using the jar that we ship and there is no pre-installed ant on the system. Is anyone else developing on RHEL 4 by any chance?
Thanks!!

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 On 8/30/06, Irene Ros <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
