I have encountered a problem specifying values for system properties.  Given
the code snippet:

    String value = System.getProperty("my.property");
    System.out.println("my.property=" + value);

When the program is executed from JDE and the system property is specified
by typing:

    -Dmy.property="foo bar"

in the mini-buffer when prompted for Vm args, the quotes are incorrectly
included as part of the value and the result printed is:

    my.property="foo bar"

If I specify the system property and value in the jde-run-option-properties
list, or on a shell command line, then the property value is correct and the
result printed is:

    my.property=foo bar

(no quotes.)

Any else seen this?  Not a major problem, but if anyone has a workaround
that allows me to specify the property via the read Vm args prompt in the
mini-buffer, I would appreciate it.

I'm running jde-2.2.9beta10, eieio 0.17beta4, semantic-1.4,
speedbar-0.14beta4, and emacs 21.2.1 on Windows 2000.

Thanks in advance.
