Description

If ActiveMQ is installed in a path with spaces (like: "C:\Program Files\AMQ"), the batch files activemq.bat and activemq-admin.bat cannot start the service.

The source of the issue appears to be that the -Djava.security.auth.login.config command line option is getting passed a raw path value that is not properly encoded for spaces in the path. I have a patch available that surrounds this parameter value with quotations.
