Description hdong 2009-07-23 01:10:51 UTC 
When profiling an applet in netbeans, it tells user to set -agentpath to agent dll in java control panel runtime
arguments. However, it does not says the argument need be correctly quoted in order to be passed to jvm. People who
copied and pasted the argument in java control panel often complain about the argument is not picked up by java plugin.

A Sun bugster bug 6763455 is an example of commonly misused case. To set it correctly, the path need be quoted if there
are spaces in the path, or use short format of the path. One right example is:

-agentpath:"C:\Program Files\YourKit Java Profiler 7.5.8\bin\win32\yjpagent.dll"
