I'm the one that introduced that problem.

I hadn't realized it broke on Windows 9x/ME.
Unfortunately, that change is needed to support spaces in the %JAVACMD%
under the Windows NT shell (NT/ 2000/XP).
Windows NT (2000 or XP) takes the first argument to be the window title if
it's quoted.
So start "%JAVACMD%" doesn't work.
But if it's unquoted -- start %JAVACMD% -- then spaces aren't handled
properly in the path, and, since java is installed by default in "Program
Files", that breaks most installations.
I'm not certain what a good fix would be yet.
I'd rather see the default behavior to support NT-based shells, but at
minimum we can add a note in the file for Windows 9x/ME users or we can
create a separate 9x bat file.
Perhaps I can figure out a way to identify which version of the start
command to run.
I've reopened and reassigned issue CAY-99 to myself (as my first official
act as a committer) and I've appended Albert's comments to it. Albert, if
you want, you can go to the issue and assign yourself as a watcher for this
issue.
