Hi!

While trouble shooting why some of the system properties I pass to
headless Buckminster seem to disappear, I finally discovered that only the
first 9 vmargs are being passed on in the buckminster.bat file.

The last part of the file looks like this:

:parseargs
rem ------------------------------------------------------------ ----
rem Split the arguments into vm, vmargs and common args
rem ------------------------------------------------------------ ----
set VM=java
set ARGS=
set VMARGS=
:loop
if [%1] == [] goto endloop
if [%1] == [-vm] goto vm
if [%1] == [-vmargs] goto vmargs
set ARGS=%ARGS% %1
shift
goto loop
:vm
shift
set VM=%1
shift
goto loop

:vmargs
shift

:endloop

rem ------------------------------------------------------------ ----
rem Invoke
rem ------------------------------------------------------------ ----
%VM% %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 -jar "%EXE_DIR%startup.jar" %ARGS%

The precense of the VMARGS variable indicates an intent to pass all
vmargs, but as seen only %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 are passed.

With the following script changes it now passes them all:

:vmargs
shift
:vmargs_loop
if [%1] == [] goto endloop
set VMARGS=%VMARGS% %1
shift
goto vmargs_loop

:endloop

rem ------------------------------------------------------------ ----
rem Invoke
rem ------------------------------------------------------------ ----
%VM% %VMARGS% -jar "%EXE_DIR%startup.jar" %ARGS%

Hi John,
I suggest you write a bugzilla for this and include the modified script
as an attachment (patch or in full).
