Description

Trying to use a command such using the new argument fails in the following manner.

It appears to be related to the processing of the argument list by the qpid-server.bat file. It is choking on arguments containing =.

User can workaround by providing the property values as system properties (e.g via QPID_OPTS: set QPID_OPTS="-Dname=value"), or by invoking the Main class directly without the qpid-server.bat script.
