Description

Using forked compiler in <ant:javac> causes compile to fail. The following is encountered during the build of j2ee-builder/maven.xml.
/***********************
setupEar:
[javac] Compiling 20 source files to C:\Documents and Settings\Geronimo Team\My
Documents\test\geronimo\modules\j2ee-builder\target\test-ear14\test-ejb-jar
[javac] javac: invalid flag: C:\Documents
[javac] Usage: javac <options> <source files>
*************/

The maven file:
<ant:javac srcdir="${ear.src.base.dir}/test-ejb-jar"
destdir="${ear.target.base.dir}/test-ejb-jar"
source="${maven.compile.source}"
target="${maven.compile.target}"
debug="on"
fork="true">
<!--
changing fork="false" works
//I generally use paths without spaces in windows, but I found this error because I was test compiling it in "documents and settings"
-->

looks like we need to wait for the Ant upgrade in future versions of Maven

This is an issue with maven. See http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPJAVA-4
