diff -u patch for service.bat against 7.0.25

It appears that procrun 1.0.8 is not handling ++JvmOptions properly, instead treating it as --JvmOptions.  This results in only the last use of JvmOptions being retained in the registry, causing the settings for catalina.base and catalina.home to be lost when applied by the service.bat script.  Attached is a diff -u patch for service.bat 7.0.25 to work around the problem; it has the unfortunate effect of making the lines rather long.

Thanks for the analysis and the patch.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-237 has been raised for the procrun bug. If that doesn't get fixed before the next 7.0.x release we'll go with the patch provided.

Fixed in trunk and 7.0.x and will be included in 7.0.26 onwards by upgrading to Daemon 1.0.9.

The same upgrade has been proposed for 6.0.x and 5.5.x but note that 5.5.x is not affected by this bug since it currently uses Daemon 1.0.7.

Fixed in 6.0.x and will be included in 6.0.36 onwards.
