windows somehow fails on properties with a dot in it

[maxandersen]

jbang -Dcasciian.animations=false -Dcasciian.translucence=false --class-path build/jar/casciian.jar build/jar/demo.jar

gives:

[ERROR] Script or alias could not be found or read: '.animations=false'

but only on windows afaics.

...but this also fails:

java -Dcasciian.animations=false -Dcasciian.translucence=false --class-path build/jar/casciian.jar build/jar/demo.jar demo.Demo1

so quoting needed:

``java -D"casciian.animations=false" -D"casciian.translucence=false" --class-path build/jar/casciian.jar build/jar/demo.jar demo.Demo1`

works...but

jbang -D"casciian.animations=false" -D"casciian.translucence=false" --class-path build/jar/casciian.jar build/jar/demo.jar

still fails.

seems like we might be missing some re-quoting in the call to jbang on windows?

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be this easy.

First in CMD you don't need to quote, it just works. But quoting it like "-Dcasciian.animations=false" or -D"casciian.animations=false" also both work.

In Powershell you do seem to need to quote, not sure yet why, but even java fails if you don't quote a -Dcasciian.animations=false argument.

But for JBang.. even when you quote the argument you get an error that seems to be from PicoCli trying to treat the entire thing as a single argument. So not sure it has to do with our quoting/requoting.

Isn't it because the quotes are removed before jbang (and thus picocli) gets them?
