Does this affect the launching of the profiling tools?

Subject: [cross-project-issues-dev] Recent breaking change to behaviour of
Runtime#exec in Oracle JRE
To: cross-project-issues-...@eclipse.org


The Platform team just became aware of a very recent change to the
behaviour of some of the Runtime#exec methods in the Oracle JRE. This
affects the most recent update of both Java SE 6 and Java SE 7 from Oracle.
Here are the details provided in the JRE release notes:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u21-relnotes-1932873.html#jruntime

I recommend that all projects review their references to all Runtime#exec
methods that take a single string as first argument. Chances are if you use
these methods you will now have problems executing applications on Windows
when the path contains spaces. For reference here is the Platform bug where
we are tracking changes required in Equinox, Platform, and JDT:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=408987

We intend to have these addressed for RC3 where appropriate.

John
