Description

If you copy the TinkerPop Gremlin Console to the folder

C:\Program Files\Apache TinkerPop

then it would be impossible to start the console with the gremlin.bat file provided with the solution.

The issue is that the space of the folder name will not be correctly handled when defining the CLASSPATH.

It's possible to easily fix this issue by replacing the line

java %JAVA_OPTIONS% %JAVA_ARGS% -cp %LIBDIR%\*;%EXTDIR%; org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.console.Console %*

by

java %JAVA_OPTIONS% %JAVA_ARGS% -cp "%LIBDIR%\*;%EXTDIR%;" org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.console.Console %*

(the value provided for the -cp argument must be surrounded by double quotes).
