title: How to pass Properties to jar from Powershell?
body: <p>I've been using Powershell-1.0 for command line needs for a while, instead of cmd.exe. Unfortunately, there are still some caveats when using Java. I need to pass a property to a jar, like that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java -jar -Duser.language=en any.jar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This line works fine in cmd.exe, but not in Powershell as it searches for another jar:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Unable to access jarfile user.language=en</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Using quotes doesn't help.</p>
  
  <p>Is it doable in Powershell-1.0, or do I miss something in Java?</p>
