I am unable to reproduce this problem on my Windows 2000 system and I
cannot tell why it is occurring from the information you supply. The
variable jde-quote-classpath is for quoting the classpath when supplied to
Unix shells, e.g. bash. The JDE uses the current shell only to compile. It
does not use the current shell to launch JDEbug. It launches JDEbug
directly as a subprocess of Emacs. The Windows version of Emacs has a
variable, w32-quote-process-args, that tells Emacs to quote arguments
passed to subprocesses. I tried JDEbug with this variable set to t and to
nil, and in both cases JDEbug worked.
I'm not sure how to proceed at this point. I will do so more testing and
get back to you if I figure out anything.
