Hi Alexander,
I'm not sure we want to get into the business of telling people how use
use shell quoting.
It does vary from shell to shell and on Windows vs. Linux.
I'd pick one simple example that works on Windows as well as Linux.
I would have thought that the example in the bug report would be handled
correctly
since it should be delivered to java intact as a single argument.
('-Dfoo=foo bar')

Please review the jpackage fix for bug [1] at [2].
This is a fix for the JDK-8200758-branch branch of the open sandbox
repository (jpackage).
- There are no know bugs in how we handle java options with spaces.
However, it might be complicated to figure out how to provide such
options. Added several examples to help to show most common cases.
--java-options <java options>
Options to pass to the Java runtime
This option can be used multiple times.
Example 1: To specify [-DOption1=My Great App] use
[--java-options "-DOption1=\"My Great App\""]
Example 2: To specify [-DOption2="My Great App in quotes"] use
[--java-options "-DOption2=\"\\\"My Great App in
quotes\\\"\""]
Example 3: To specify [-DOption3=Value "with" quotes] use
[--java-options "-DOption3=\"Value \\\"with\\\" quotes\""]
Application will read them back as:
-DOption1=My Great App
-DOption2="My Great App in quotes"
-DOption3=Value "with" quotes
