Description
New-style JVM arguments, those with embedded spaces (e.g., "--add-modules <module>" and "--add-exports <module>" instead of, "--add-modules=<module>" and "--add-exports=<module>") will not be supported when passed through Java Web Start or Plug-in. If arguments with embedded spaces are passed, they could be processed incorrectly.
