Thanks Kumar, Yes it seems very similar !

I'll try the workaround (instead of "", use ";")

Thanks Daniel

Hi Daniel,

It is likely you are running into this issue: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/viewbug.do?bugid=7146424 Thanks Kumar

Hi all, I've notice a strange java 7 behavior on windows when a "*" is used as argument: Here is the test case, just printed out the args (pretty simple as you can see): public class TestStar { public static void main(String args[]) { for (String arg : args) { System.out.print(arg + " "); } System.out.println(); } } On Unix, running ' java TestStar "*" ', both on jdk6 and jdk7 produce the expected output: $ echo $JAVAHOME $ ./jdk1.6.026/bin/java -version java version "1.6.026" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.026-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode) $ ./jdk1.6.026/bin/java TestStar "*" * $ ./jdk1.7.0/bin/java -version java version "1.7.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode) $ ./jdk1.7.0/bin/java TestStar "*" * $ On windows with jkd6, I've got the expected output: $ echo %JAVAHOME% %JAVAHOME% $ c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.029\bin\java.exe -version 'c:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. $ "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.029\bin\java.exe" -version java version "1.6.029" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.029-b11) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.4-b02, mixed mode, sharing) $ "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.029\bin\java.exe" TestStar "*" * $

On windows with jkd7, the output IS NOT the expected one. It seems that the "*" is interpreted and list the directory $ "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.003\bin\java.exe" -version java version "1.7.003" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.003-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 22.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing) $ "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.003\bin\java.exe" TestStar "*" TestStar.class $ "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.003\bin\java.exe" TestStar "*" $Recycle.Bin \a.bat \autoexec.bat \bar.emf \config.sys \dell \Documents and Set tings \FWLog.txt \Genius \hiberfil.sys \HPCLJCP4020CP452032bitPCL6HPDIU \H PDIU.log \MSOCache \pagefile.sys \partage \PerfLogs \Program Files \ProgramData \Recovery \System Volume Information \Users \Windows \xampp Any info about this strange behavior? Is it a bug? Is there a workaround? Thanks Daniel
