eclipse.ini and spaces in -vm path or -Djava.library.path are incorrectly wrapped on PDE export [message #464050]

I have a *.product file which has on the Launcher tab, Launching
Arguments > All Platforms: (I've also tried win32 tab as well)

Program Arguments:
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_13\bin\javaw.exe

VM Arguments:
-Xdebug
-Xnoagent
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend= n
-Djava.compiler=NONE
-Djava.library.path=C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_13\bin;C:\Program
Files\ArcGIS\bin

Where each argument is on its own line.

When I export my product the generated <exe>.ini file is incorrectly
putting a newline where a space occurs:

-vm
C:\Program
Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_13\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xdebug
-Xnoagent
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend= n
-Djava.compiler=NONE
-Djava.library.path=C:\Program
Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_13\bin;C:\Program
Files\ArcGIS\bin

Is this a known bug? I couldn't find anything in bugzilla.

Is there a way to escape spaces?
I've tried "\ " (slash space), I've tried double quoting the line,
nothing works. Finding documentation on eclipse.ini and config.ini is
difficult.

For Eclipse 3.2.1, I've found Plug-in Development Environment Guide >
Tools > Editors > Product Configuration Editor > Launcher, which doesn't
discuss white space or file format at all.

My work around
is to use Windows 16 bit filenames instead:

-vm
C:\PROGRA~1\Java\J2RE14~2.2_1\bin\javaw.exe
-Xdebug
-Xnoagent
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend= n
-Djava.compiler=NONE
-Djava.library.path=C:\PROGRA~1\Java\J2RE14~2.2_1\bin;C:\PRO GRA~1\ArcGIS\bin

Still would appreciate learning the correct way.

Barrie,
This is a bug, see:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=162075 and
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168247

I don't think there is currently any way to get the spaces in the product file
handled correctly.

And alternative is to provide your own ini file and get it included as a root
file using a feature.
