Build ID: I20090522-1710

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Do a fresh install of Galileo rc2
2. Edit eclipse.ini and add:
-Dmy.home=xxx yyy
to the vmargs
3. launch eclipse and create a new workspace
4. Select the Run Configurations... menu item in the Run menu
5. Create a new Eclipse Application launch configuration
6. Click the Run button to get the error.


More information:
It happens because the vmargs are copied into the launch config vm arguments but are not quoted properly. Properties containing spaces set in eclipse.ini are handled properly by eclipse so if the launch config is to be correct, they will have to be handled there too. 

Quoting the arguments in eclipse.ini has no effect. Changing the property in the launch configuration to either:
-Dmy.home="xxx yyy"
"-Dmy.home=xxx yyy"
seems to fix the problem so maybe quoting all imported vm arguments would fix this bug.

This is the stack trace when trying to launch an eclipse application with -Dmy.home=xxx yyy in the vmargs.
