RC1: Java execute [Ctrl-F5] strips quotes surrounding arguments

[Marcel]

As stated in the subject. My argument was "<>".  Debugging worked fine, but execute failed because it lost the quotes around <>. 
Sorry, I don't have a ready sample project for you.

What type of project?  If it's gradle, what version of Gradle?  And where are you setting the arguments?  In the Gradle Build options, or is this being run via "Debug -> Start with arguments..."?

My first suspicion was gradle 4.9 or above, since that uses the new feature for passing command line arguments, but that seems to work for me.

[Marcel]

No Gradle involved here, just a plain old Java project.  The arguments are set in Java Options -> JRE tab -> Arguments.

[patrick]

Reproduced.  I'll take a look at it.

[patrick]

Just to be clear, did you have double quotes around the <> in the JavaOptions -> JRE -> Arguments text box, or no double quotes?

[Marcel]

Double quotes

Code: [Select]

"<>"

[patrick]

As a temporary workaround while I work on this, you can uncheck the "Build first" setting for the Execute tool of that project.

This is fixed in RC2.
