Indeed, you are right. Actually I wanted to use arg files to solve the too long class path on Windows... I though fork would be enough but there is something else that I don't understand.
I checked in the code of the plexus javac compiler and internally it already generates an @option file with all args passed to JVM in fork mode. What is curious is that I don't see this option appearing in command line using mvn -X I just see plain args on the terminal. Any hints ?

I think that the support of "@option-file" syntax is specific to the javac command tool. which would expand this option before to pass it to the compiler. I just verified that "@option-file" is not supported by javax.tools.JavaCompiler. Maven 3 uses the Plexus compiler, but I presume that it doesn't expand that option neither. I don't know if we want to add similar functionality to Maven compiler plugin. But if so, it would be useful to know why options in a file are desired, in order to see if it would be possible to do the same in a more "Maven way".
