[Sablevm-developer] Bug#238651: java-sablevm dequotes parameters

[Grzegorz B. P. <ga...@de...>]

Hi Ilguiz

You're absolutely right, these changes fix the problem (I tested it with
some other shell scripts).

This will go into 1.1.1-1 upload (hopefuly soon).

Thanks a lot,

PS: I think we'd also get similar breakage if we ex. try to use a path
for CLASSPATH with spaces in the name, or if we try to set value of
a property to something with spaces or special chars... Yes, shell is
far from ideal here, but I'll try to test and fix some such problems in
the next version.

If it's not possible given shell syntax - I guess we're gonna switch to
perl, or even better - write a *binary* wrapper (in C).

Hmm... that's a nice idea! and not hard to do. any takers?
