Description Jonathan Whitall CLA 2006-04-04 12:16:55 EDT 
The Ant builder fails with no messages if the WAS install root has a space in it. This seems to be caused by org.eclipse.jst.server.websphere.core.AntPublisher (in the webspherecore.jar) on line 11:

wc.setAttribute(IJavaLaunchConfigurationConstants.ATTR_VM_ARGUMENTS,"-Duser.install.root="+wasProfile);

When I replaced that line with this (adding escaped quotes), it publishes fine:
wc.setAttribute(IJavaLaunchConfigurationConstants.ATTR_VM_ARGUMENTS,"\"-Duser.install.root="+wasProfile+"\"");

Has this been fixed?
Comment 2 Jonathan Whitall CLA 2006-07-03 13:10:57 EDT 
This appears to have been fixed. Can anyone validate that it is so?

There is another twist to the defect. If the workbench is started in a directory with spaces, i.e: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\workspace.. the default for when starting eclipse, when you try to publish an ear the JACL script will fail with a com.ibm.bsf.BSFException because it cant resolve the ear file in the fully qualified temp server directory. 

Adding quotes to the path would also fix this problem.
