Hi,
I'd like to ask what the status unicode support for executing
processes on Windows is.

I've cc'ed Heiko Wagner - he was running with this in March
(http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2009-March/001231.html).
I haven't seen any further discussion on the issue. Heiko was close and
it just needed that final surge to get over the line.
The issue ( http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4519026
) has been opened 8 years ago. What baffles me is how can an issue
that pretty much renders ProcessBuilder and Process useless on Windows
if there is a unicode character anywhere in executable path have
priority set to 4-Low.
It's hard to know if many people run into this or not - the RFE has only
accumulated 3 votes in all those years. The other part to the bigger
picture is the launcher work, which could follow this.
