build.bat does not process command line arguments correctly
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-4243
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4243
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Test Suite
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.0.CR1
         Environment: Windows 2003
            Reporter: Richard Achmatowicz
             Fix For: JBossAS-4.2.0.GA


The batch script build.bat in the testsuite diredctory does not correctly deal long command lines, such as this required for testing: > build.bat -Djboss.dist=<dist location> -Dnode0=%MYTESTIP_1% -Dnode1=%MYTESTIP_2% -DudpGroup=239.11.12.13 tests

Windows batch files throw out  '=' signs when processing command line arguments. This the command line arguments above are: 
%1=-Djboss.dist  
%2=<dist location> 
%3=-Dnode0
%4=%MYTESTIP_1%
%5=-Dnode1
%6=%MYTESTIP_2%
%7=-DudpGroup
%8=239.11.12.13
%9=tests
  
However, build.bat is written in such a way that it processes a maximum of 6 command line arguments. Thus, I can't run the testsuite with the command line above using build.bat. The same problem presumably applies to build.bat in the build directory.

I have written a modification of build.bat which will handle command lines of any length, mimicking what the ant batch file does using the shift command. Will post this when JBoss Labs is available again.
