My JAR runs in a DOS shell like this
set MY_VAR=MY_VALUE
my_jar.jar MyClass
and in MyClass I code
String myValue = System.getenv("MY_VAR");
System.out.println("myValue = " + myValue);
This works fine.
But now I must change in my DOS shell the value of MY_VAR from MY_VALUE to MY%VALUE.
set MY_VAR=MY%VALUE
my_jar.jar MyClass
I can't use this value because the '%' character has disappeared. I dump also myValue in my code to stdout:
myValue = MYVALUE
What is the cause for the disappearance of the '%' character and how can I set a value with '%' characters in the shell and use it in the Java code?
