"Run Single File" does not support CLI-Arguments with spaces

[nigjo]

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 14

What happened

In the Properties window of a "runnable" java source file there is a setting for "Arguments". These arguments are handed over to the file when run as "single file". But this property does not handle spaces in arguments properly.

How to reproduce

Arguments=first second third

works good. in main the args array has 3 entries as expected

Arguments="A first argument" second "All good are three"

does not work as expected. args will have 8 entries.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

Operating System

windows 10

JDK

jdk 11

What build system are you using?

[nigjo]

There is no project involved. It's the Java 11+ feature to run a .java file from command line.

public class NewJavaFile {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("arguments:");
        for (String arg : args) {
            System.out.println("arg: "+arg);
        }
    }
}

expected:

$ java NewJavaFile.java "one two" three
arguments:
arg: one two
arg: three

in NB:

arguments:
arg: "one
arg: two"
arg: three

[mbien]

I can't reproduce this anymore with NB 20.

the output for "one two" three is now:

arguments:
arg: one two
arg: three

Can someone confirm?

I am curious how this got fixed, might be the nb-javac update or something else :)
the attribute storage did not change between 19 and 20:

<attr name="single_file_run_arguments" stringvalue="&quot;one two&quot; three"/>
