Description

If I want to run a Sourcefile within the IDE with JDK11+ and the path for the file has spaces the file can not be executed

 

Steps (in windows cmd.exe):

C:\>md "Path with space"

C:\>cd Path with space

C:\Path with space>copy con SampleClass.java
public class SampleClass{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Sample");
}}^Z
1 Datei(en) kopiert.

C:\Path with space>java SampleClass.java
Sample

C:\Path with space>java %CD%\SampleClass.java
Fehler: Hauptklasse C:\Path konnte nicht gefunden oder geladen werden
Ursache: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: C:\Path

C:\Path with space>java "%CD%\SampleClass.java"
Sample

C:\Path with space>java "%CD:\=/%/SampleClass.java"
Sample

C:\Path with space>java %CD:\=/%/SampleClass.java
Fehler: Hauptklasse C:.Path konnte nicht gefunden oder geladen werden
Ursache: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: C:.Path

C:\Path with space>java -Duser.language=en %CD:\=/%/SampleClass.java
Error: Could not find or load main class C:.Path
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: C:.Path

 

the exact same error message () as the last command is shown if I open this file in NetBeans and call "Run file" from the context menu. So it seems the generate "command line" to execute the file is missing some quotes.
