[Bug 135] New: java-sablevm wrapper broken

http://sablevm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=135

           Summary: java-sablevm wrapper broken
           Product: SableVM
           Version: 1.11[.x]
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://bugs.debian.org/308015
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
         QAContact: [email protected]


Problem:

The problem described in http://bugs.debian.org/308015 is caused by shell
dropping empty parameters passed to java-sablevm wrapper.

In particular this call

java-sablevm -classpath
/usr/share/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar:/usr/share/java/xmlParserAPIs.jar:/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar
-Dant.home=/usr/share/ant -Dant.library.dir=/usr/share/ant/lib
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -lib "" clean

becomes an equivalent of

java-sablevm -classpath
/usr/share/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar:/usr/share/java/xmlParserAPIs.jar:/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar
-Dant.home=/usr/share/ant -Dant.library.dir=/usr/share/ant/lib
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -lib clean

because sablevm is actually called with these parameters:

/usr/bin/sablevm -Y
--classpath=/usr/share/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar:/usr/share/java/xmlParserAPIs.jar:/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar
--property=ant.home=/usr/share/ant --property=ant.library.dir=/usr/share/ant/lib
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -lib clean

Explanation:

The empty string after -lib is lost, thus the 'clean' now becomes its
parameter, which makes ANT execute the default target instead of clean.
(An example build.xml is provided in Debian BTS)

Recommended way of fixing this bug:

          rewrite java-sablevm in C
