CreateProcess bug in Eclipse

If you like to keep up with the latest releases (a.k.a. milestones) of Eclipse you might find yourself in a bind like I was. We tend to break our libraries into their own projects for reuse so our classpath gets quite long very easily. That’s when I got the exception and could not for the life of me figure out how to get around it. At first I thought it was related to Bug 32206 because of a non-Latin character (0x0c2) at the end of my command line. However, there was not good answer on the bug report. Of course the basic test of a HelloWorld program worked, so I knew it had to do with long command lines, hence, I proceeded to consolidate my project so I could actually get to work. However, Wing again saved the day. Read his post with the answer. Now it would be nice if I spent the time figuring out how this solves the problem, since it’s not like I changed the number of projects/libraries I depended on or their path.
