You're expecting Java to build its Windows command string something like
this?:
import java.util.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
public final class WindowsArgumentGenerator {
private WindowsArgumentGenerator() { }
private static final Pattern slashSequence =
Pattern.compile("\\\\*\"");
private static boolean needsQuotes(String arg) {
return arg.indexOf(' ') > -1;
}
public static String generateWindowsArgument(List<? extends String> args) {
StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();
String sep = "";
for (String arg : args) {
out.append(sep);
sep = " ";
final boolean quoted = needsQuotes(arg);
if (quoted)
out.append('"');
Matcher m = slashSequence.matcher(arg);
int lastEnd = 0;
while (m.find()) {
out.append(arg.substring(lastEnd, m.start()));
final String slashes = m.group();
final int len = slashes.length() - 1;
out.append(slashes.substring(0, len))
.append('\\')
.append(slashes);
lastEnd = m.end();
}
out.append(arg.substring(lastEnd));
if (quoted)
out.append('"');
}
return out.toString();
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++)
System.out.printf("argv[%d]=[%s]%n", i, args[i]);
System.out.println(generateWindowsArgument(Arrays.asList(args)));
}
}
Does that work correctly for anything to be thrown at CommandLineToArgvW?

Perhaps that assumption is too risky for Java to make, e.g. there are
enough 'native' Windows/DOS commands around that the programmer is
likely to want to invoke, but don't use CommandLineToArgvW, and so would
be confused if they received a string escaped as above. Not a very
satisfactory situation.
