      This is the scenario which fails on Unix systems:

      $ export JAVA_OPTS="-Dtestparameter=\"Something with spaces\""
$ ./jboss-cli.sh
Error: Could not find or load main class with

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: with

      This was tested on various unix operating systems and was specific to jboss-cli.sh, the Windows variant was fine. We tested WF10 (no error), WF21 (error above). No combination of escaping and quotes has worked on WF21. The temporary workaround I use while using WF21 is temporarily unsetting JAVA_OPTS before using the jboss-cli which works well.

      When having spaces in JAVA_OPTS on a Unix machine, calls to jboss-cli.sh will fail (see repro steps for the error). It looks like spaces aren't handled well. It works fine for WF10 but fails on WF21, I'm not sure about the versions in between.
