Regarding https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8282008 and your fix at https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/7709 , I have a couple of questions:

1) Will this fix be included with the Java 8 builds as well?

2) We just ran into this bug, and I wanted to make sure the case we ran into is also covered by your fix. We have something like this:

List<String> args = Arrays.asList("java", "-cp", "c:/java", "-Dprocess.dir=\"c:/logs\"", "prod.ProcessFiles");
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(args);
Process p = pb.start();
int exitCode = p.waitFor();

In our case, the process.dir system variable used to be passed as c:/logs, but with OpenJDK 8U292 it started getting passed as "c:/logs" with quotes around the value.

I think what happened is the argument used to be passed directly as:

-Dprocess.dir="c:/logs"

But with the bug it started getting passed as:

-Dprocess.dir="c:/logs

Without the trailing quote. Or something like that, I'm not 100% sure.

Would you please check to see if my use-case is also fixed by JDK-8282008? Based on the ArgCheck test you wrote, I wasn't sure if it was covered. Prior to OpenJDK 8U292 this code had worked properly for a long, long time.
