windows - Java with maven wouldn't build: Cannot run program "cmd" "Malformed argument has embedded quote"

Question

I've a fresh install of netbean 11.1. Now I'm trying to build a project but I get the following error output:

Cannot run program "cmd" (in directory "C:projectsopen"): Malformed argument has embedded quote: "C:Program FilesNetBeans-11.1 etbeansjavamaveninmvn.cmd"

cd C:projectsopen; "JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.5" cmd /c """C:\Program Files\NetBeans-11.1\netbeans\java\maven\bin\mvn.cmd" -DskipTests=true -Dmaven.ext.class.path="C:\Program Files\NetBeans-11.1\netbeans\java\maven-nblib\netbeans-eventspy.jar" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 clean install"" Cannot run program "cmd" (in directory "C:projectsopen"): Malformed argument has embedded quote: "C:Program FilesNetBeans-11.1
etbeansjavamaveninmvn.cmd" -DskipTests=true -Dmaven.ext.class.path="C:Program FilesNetBeans-11.1
etbeansjavamaven-nblib
etbeans-eventspy.jar" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 clean install

I've build this project with netbeans 11.1 before but have a new pc. and a fresh install, tho I'm sure there was no problem last time I tried to install everything.

Although this problem can be fixed by installing jdk1.8.0_221, but actually you don't need to downgrade your JDK. Just try these:

1. First exit netbeans IDE if it's open, then open netbeans configuration file from here: netbeans-Install-Dir/etc/netbeans.conf (Note: for me netbeans-Install-Dir is C:Program FilesNetBeans 8.2etc)
2. Add the below arguments

-J-Djdk.lang.Process.allowAmbiguousCommands=true

3. to the beginning of the string that you find at this line:

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m ......."

Sample screenshot as shown below:
4. Save the change and start your netbeans IDE.
