Description

When the path to the external executable in <executable> contains space(s), the build will fail: the command is misunderstood because it stops at the first space encountered.

Example:
<executable>C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin\javac.exe</executable>
The plugin will try to execute "C:\Program" instead.

On windows the only workaround I know of is:
<executable>C:\PROGRA~1\java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin\javac.exe</executable>
