When JAVA_OPTS is -Daprop="a value", "%JAVA_OPTS" means "-Daprop="a value"".
So the following part of startGroovy.bat (line 223) throws the error.

if "%JAVA_OPTS%" == "" set JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx128m"

The patch changes startGroovy.bat to use GROOVY_OPTS local variable for local options instead of JAVA_OPTS that is commonly used by other programs.

I also attached a small test program.
By the way, is there nobody can verify this issue?
