[news.eclipse.tools] ANT and exec 
ANT version 1.5

Running a batch file useing exec

the script shapes up similar to:

<exec dir="${library.filter.dir}" executable="myfile.bat">
 <arg value="Path1;Path2"/>
</exec>

NOTE that "Path1;Path2" is a single argument and cannot be seperated.

inside myfile.bat:

c:\jdk1.3.1_06\bin\java com.myjava.tool %1


Running this from a DOS Command Prompt similar to:

myfile "path1;path2"

works, however I canot get this to run from the ANT script.

As it is written above the command line parses as"

myfile path1 path2

resulting in path2 not being found

I have tried

<arg value="&quot;Path1;Path2&quot;"/>

which also fails to parse correctly.

Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

Thanks

David
