Description

line.separator does not resolve properly inside an ant task (using maven-antrun-plugin).

E.g., using the 2 attached files, running

ant

produces the following output

Buildfile: build.xml

echo:
     [echo] 
     [echo] line.separator: --
     [echo] --
     [echo] os.name: --Linux--
     [echo]         

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds

which is all okay, so far (new line is being shown on the echo line).

However, when using

mvn initialize

, we get the following output

[INFO] Scanning for projects...

I have two questions:

1. Why do I have to specify all the properties one-by-one while calling the target?
2. Why is the output for line.separator not what is expected?
