Description

The current problem is a command line like this:

mvn -Dtest=\"anton\" clean package

The trailing backslash with the quote is stripped away. This is not the problem of Maven itself. This is a known bug (and fixed) in commons-cli.
This should be postponed until commons-cli 1.3 will be released.
