Java paths with spaces won't work on Windows (*.bat files)

[gregid]

None of the *.bat files will work if the %JAVA_HOME% and %JAVAFX_HOME% paths include spaces on Windows (e.g. most common C:\Program Files\JAVAHOME\)

The error will be System Windows cannot find C:\Program

• OS: Win 10
• Version 3.7.0, 3.8.0

These paths should be wrapped in double quotes.

The cleanest generic option is to use the system environment variable JAVA_HOME pointing to the bin folder. Then in the batch files just "start javaw.exe". If you have another location, just put the full path in the .bat files.

In case you would decide to change *.bat files to also work with more problematic paths here is where the double quotes should be:

start "" "%JAVA_HOME%bin\javaw.exe" -p "%JAVAFX_HOME%\lib" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.web -Dlog4j.configurationFile=config\logging\log4j2.xml -jar oee-apps-3.7.0.jar DESIGNER jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/OEE SA 

The empty "" is required for cmd window title when double quotes are used.

With the changes in commit:
d905065

It would still fail if %JAVAFX_HOME% contain spaces

Thanks gregid. I updated the Wiindows batch files accordingly
