Here is a simpler example. When you give the shell the command:

   xmlxsl blahblahblah "'foo and bar'"

...the double quotes are removed by the shell, so the 2 arguments are:

   blahblahblah
   'foo and bar'

Your shell script creates a new command to give to the shell:

   java -classpath stuffstuffstuff blahblahblah 'foo and bar'

The shell removes the single quotes when it parses this command.
If you change $* to "$*" it should work, as long as the arguments
never contain double quotes.

And yes, this is off-topic.
