      I tried to use jpackage file-associations option to associate a given
      extension. This works fine. The program gets launched with the given
      argument (e.g., double clicking file on Windows).

      I have noticed though that the argument may be split due to possible
      whitespaces in the filename.

      e.g., clicking on file C:\foo.xyz works fine but C:\part1 part2.xyz gets
      broken up into 2 arguments.
      It looks the argument needs to be wrapped in quotes so that a Java program
      gets the right argument:

      ["C:\part1 part2.xyz"]
      instead of
      ["C:\part1", "part2.xyz"]
      as currently reported.
