Setting a Windows variable to execute a Java program

Question

I am setting this variable

set srcDir = C:\Developpement\Workspaces\Eclipse\MyAuthenticationProvider\src

Then I execute this program

java -DMJF=MyAuthentication.jar -Dfiles=%srcDir% weblogic.management.commo.WebLogicMBeanMaker

But I have this strange error

The specified input files directory, "%srcDir%", does not exist.

I even tried using

java -DMJF=MyAuthentication.jar -Dfiles=$srcDir weblogic.management.commo.WebLogicMBeanMaker

with the same result

The specified input files directory, "$srcDir", does not exist.

another test:

C:\Developpement\Workspaces\Eclipse\WLAuthenticationProvider>set a=test

C:\Developpement\Workspaces\Eclipse\WLAuthenticationProvider>echo $a
$a

C:\Developpement\Workspaces\Eclipse\WLAuthenticationProvider>

Currently, you are setting the srcDir with

set srcDir = C:\Developpement\Workspaces\Eclipse\MyAuthenticationProvider\src

Remove the spaces

set srcDir=C:\Developpement\Workspaces\Eclipse\MyAuthenticationProvider\src

I believe your original command will then work.

java -DMJF=MyAuthentication.jar -Dfiles=%srcDir% weblogic.management.commo.WebLogicMBeanMaker
