JDK-4285874 - TTY: jdb chokes on command line arguments containing commas
Description
We found a problem with launching  debugger using the defaultConnector.
If the Connector.Argument of type "options" has quoted string in it,
defaultConnector.launch will remove the quote and generates an invalid command
line. (happens in Solaris and WinNT)

e.g.:
  add the following VM parameter to the defaultConnector "options" argument.
   -Duser.dir="E:\JBuilder3\myprojects\untitled5"

The resulted command line will be:
  -Duser.dir= E:\JBuilder3\myprojects\untitled5        (there is a space between
'=' and 'E')




The following  is the exception thrown by the defaultConnector launcher:

com.sun.jdi.connect.VMStartException: VM initialization failed for:
D:\jdk1.2.2\bin\javaw -classic -Duser.dir= E:\JBuilder3\myprojects\untitled5
-classpath

E:\JBuilder3\myclasses;E:\pt\lib\jbcl3.0.jar;E:\pt\lib\jbcl3.0-res.jar;D:\jdk1.2.2\jre\lib\rt.jar;D:\jdk1.2.2\jre\lib\i18n.jar;D:\jdk1.2.2\lib\dt.jar;D:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar;D:\jdk1.2.2\lib\jpda.jar
-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_shmem,address=javadebug,suspend=y untitled5.untitled5

This problem occurs when a single command line argument is partially quoted, i.e. the -Duser.dir and the "E:\..." belong together but are separated into separate tokens.
