processing-java cannot handle paths containing spaces

[PhilipSharman]

Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?

Utilities

Processing version

4.4.4.

Operating system

MacOS 11.7.10 (Big Sur)

Steps to reproduce this

1. Install 'processing-java' (via the Tools menu).
2. Create a 'hello world' type sketch.
3. Put it in a folder whose path does not contain spaces.
4. Run e.g. processing-java --sketch='/Users/philip/Temp/FolderA/hello/' --run.
5. The sketch runs okay.
6. Copy the sketch and put it in a folder whose path does contain a space.
7. Run e.g. processing-java --sketch '/Users/philip/Temp/Folder B/hello/' --run.
8. You get the error Error: got unexpected extra argument (B/hello/).

Additional context

I tried escaping the spaces in the path (e.g. processing-java --sketch '/Users/philip/Temp/Folder\ B/hello/' --run) but I get the same error.

Thanks!
