Description:
Bladecoder Adventure Engine 4.4.0 failed to start on Windows when extracted into a nested directory under Downloads.

Environment:

  • Windows 11
  • Bladecoder Adventure Engine 4.4.0
  • Java 25.0.1 LTS

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download adventure-editor-4.4.0.zip from GitHub.
  2. Extract the ZIP file into a nested directory under Downloads.
  3. Open the bin directory.
  4. Run adventure-editor.bat.

Expected result:
The editor should start successfully.

Actual result:
The editor fails to start and displays the following error:

"The input line is too long.
The syntax of the command is incorrect."

Workaround:
Moving the extracted application to C:\Bladecoder resolved the problem. The editor then started successfully.

Additional information:
The issue may be related to the length of the generated command line or classpath on Windows.
