spaces in values

I have

@Parameter(names = "-rule", description = "rule")
private List<String> rules = new ArrayList<String>();

but when I pass a value with a space in it jcommander does not like it

./test -rule "some test"

gives

com.beust.jcommander.ParameterException: Was passed main parameter 'test' but no main parameter was defined

Yep this was entirely my bad, thanks @cbeust (i should have been quoting my $@ in my shell script c.f. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4771755/how-to-pass-arguments-from-wrapper-shell-script-to-java-application )
