      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.

    Description

      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.

          • Blocker - To be worked above all other priorities. This term is chosen when the severity of the issue is very high, has no workaround, or the effort for the change is comparatively low. Issues that may be very publicly visible and could generate significant media attention may also drive a higher priority.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
