Hi Markus,
good catch! I have the feeling this is caused by the way the maven goal
invoke-ant calls the ant Main class. The goal is defined in the
maven.xml under bootstrap. It passes all the options and -D settings in
a single <arg line ="..."/> element:
<arg line="-f ${build.file} -Dglassfish.maven=${glassfish.maven}
-Dglassfish.home=${glassfish.home} ... />
ant splits this into different command line argument by looking for
blanks and this fails if one of the system properties includes a blank.
E.g. if ${glassfish.home}includes a blank, then
-Dglassfish.home=${glassfish.home} results in two arguments: one -D
setting using the text up to the blank and another argument interpreted
as target of the ant call.
I propose to update maven.xml under bootstrap and replace the <arg
line="..."/> by multiple <arg value="..."/> elements. I started doing
this. Attached you find a patch file that allows me to build
entity-persistence from a directory including blanks. I did not replace
all the arguments from the <arg line="..."/> just the ones where I
thought they could include blanks.
