Error encountered while doing Migration from WLS 8.1 to WLS 10.0

Question

Hello All ,
We are trying to do a WLS migrate(8.1 to 10.0) for a java/j2ee based application. We did not face any issues while compling application code (using jdk 1.5 & weblogic.jar of WLS 10.0) but while running the ant build script , we encountered an error while executing below part
Line: -----
1 <java classname="weblogic.appc" fork="true" maxmemory="${appc.java.maxmemory}" failonerror="true">
2 <classpath>
3 <pathelement path="${project.classpath}"/>
4 </classpath>
5
6 <jvmarg line="${appc.java.options} -Djava.io.tmpdir=${appc.tmp.dir}"/>
7
8 <arg line="-compiler ${appc.compiler} -output ${_appc.output}
9 -classpath ${_appc.classpath}
10 ${bmwslc.param.options}
11 ${appc.additional.options}
12 ${_appc.input}" />
13 </java>
Line: -----
Following is the error , which we encountered
Line: -----
# [java] Usage: java weblogic.appc [options] <ear, jar, war or rar file or directory>
# [java] where options include:
# [java] -help Print the standard usage message.

# [java] [J2EE:160128]ERROR: Incorrect appc command-line. Too many arguments were given. The command-line only takes a single argument, the source file, in addition to the supported options.
Line: -----
All the arguments looks correct to me while debugging . here is the summary of echo statements
${appc.additional.options} =""
${bmwslc.param.options} ="-forceGeneration"
${_appc.input}="test_ear-generic.ear"
I am dumb struck at this point
Please suggest any other thoughts , which you have in mind .
Thanks in advance !

Probably too late for an answer but I try,
We are not able to build our J2EE 1.4 application with weblo 10, we have to build them with weblo 8 which contains the xdoclet. then we deploy it in WL10. then sometimes we have to fix some build constraints that WL10 doesn't allow anymore.
