Spaces in directory names
It’s 2007 - you’d reckon everyone would be able to handle spaces in directory names on Windows by now.
You’d reckon the command program on Windows would be able to interpret stuff too so sensible command line arguments would be sent to the program being executed:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0no_not_again\bin\java -cp C:\Program Files\My App\classes you.goddabe.kidding
And even it’s own inbuilts:
dir %JAVA_HOME%
Perhaps the dweeb who decided to call it progra~1 should have decided on ProgramFiles instead. Who wants to clean up batch files with double-quotes around every possible environment variable expansion point?
