That's unfortunate, but understandable.  I tried working around the Java code 
using this:


ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(
    "cmd", "/c",
    "cd /d "\\\?\" + absDir + "" && "" + javaCmd + "" -jar elp.jar"
);


but sadly, cmd's `cd` doesn't support UNC paths for setting the current 
directory:


C:\>cd \?\C:\
'\?\C:'
CMD does not support UNC paths as current directories.
