Jarsigner fails on windows due to spaces in pathnames

Looking at the plexus code, I believe the problem may be fixed by forcing the upgrade to plexus >= 1.2 (where the shell element was introduced).

Could you try building a local maven-jar-plugin that reuses the latest plexus and see if that fixes your issue ?

OK, this might not have been the right way to do it, but I hand-edited the pom for the jar plugin in my local repo and added
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId>
<artifactId>plexus-utils</artifactId>
<version>[1.2,]</version>
</dependency>

I then cleared out the plexus utils jars in my local repo to see what would be downloaded.

Rerunning the webstart plugin gave the same problem, and the repo was repopulated with plexus-utils versions 1.0.4, 1.1, 1.0.5, 1.2 and 1.2-SNAPSHOT.

You might want to run mvn with -X option to see where each version of plexus-utils got used.

the version of plexus-utils used will always be the one in $MAVEN_HOME/lib, unfortunately

I believe that Brett's last comment is no longer valid starting from maven 2.0.6.

We could bump the plexus utils version to at least 1.4.2 to make sure this is fixed. (there was a regression between I think 1.2 and 1.4.1).

I seem to have similar problems with other plugins. But I've upgraded them to p-u 1.4.2 so it's perhaps not sufficient.
I don't run Windows so I don't see those issues. In a tentative to work around the problems encountered in the other plugins, I've bumped p-u to 1.4.8. See MWEBSTART-60 as an example.

Olivier, according to my users, upgrading to 1.4.8 fixed their problems.

if we upgrade to p-u 1.4.8 we had to add a prerequisites to 2.0.6.
I have started to work on that but this upgrade causes some failures on the it tests.
Some tests use MavenEmbedder which causes some failures here.
This means some its tests need to be rewritte with using maven-invoker-plugin.

fixed in rev 602261.
snapshot deployed maven-jar-plugin 2.2-20071207.230654-4.
If any trouble reopen the issue.

I have a trouble

Looks to be related to PLXUTILS-54.
Can you test without spaces in your directory name because I see "bin/sh -c 'cd /var/data/maven/hudson/jobs/Jresearch Flexess/workspace/new_root/genera....."
And not in a hudson context
Thanks.

upgrade to last p-u looks to cause failures on unix platform.

I have updated plexus-utils dependency version to last SNAPSHOT (see PLXUTILS-54) which should fix this.
Can you try and give feedback ?
Thanks in advance.

Yes it works for me (with 2.2-20071210.234803-5)

Closed it due to positive feeback from user.
Thanks for your tests.
