Sometimes (rarely enough to be  not reported so far:-) if directory where Eclipse installed includes spaces, spawner just fails to launch anything displaying message on the console:
(Exec error:%1 is not a valid Win32 application)

Patch which fixes the problem

Just embrace full path for the starter with double quotation marks to avoid ambigousity.

Need to check for spaces everywhere with the spawner.

I've applied the patch. Mind you I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. For some reason the starter started up with spaces correctly even without the quotes. Must be some Windows magic or something...
