Description

This works:

bin/solr start -p 8983 -h localhost -m 2g -e schemaless -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

but this does not:

bin/solr start -p 8983 -h localhost -m 2g -e schemaless -a "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"

The output for the latter is:

Solr home directory /home/shalin/temp/bench/solr/wiki-4k-schema/example/schemaless/solr already exists.

Starting up Solr on port 8983 using command:
bin/solr start -p 8983 -s "example/schemaless/solr" -m 2g -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false" -a "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"


ERROR: Unbalanced quotes in bin/solr start -p 8983 -s "example/schemaless/solr" -m 2g -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false" -a "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"

I know bin/solr supports direct pass through of -D properties but it should still work with -a option because that is how many people would have configured -D properties before support for the pass-through was added.
