dita-ot: Input line too long in a windows system

Expected Behavior

DITA-OT outputs.

Actual Behavior

DITA-OT crashes right away with this error message:

C:\workspace\gradle\dita-transform\build\PI\build\ditaotPI>bin\dita.bat --input=C:\workspace\RDDOC_technical_documentation\DITA\E1007_PI_publi.ditamap --format=pi
La ligne entrée est trop longue.
"C:\workspace\gradle\dita-transform\build\PI\build\ditaotPI\bin\..\config\env.bat" était inattendu.

Which translates to

Input line is too long.
"C:\workspace\gradle\dita-transform\build\PI\build\ditaotPI\bin\..\config\env.bat" was unexpected.

Possible Solution

Use the script closer to C: but it sounds like a regression. Remove the need for env.at by adding the file in the classpath using gradle.

Steps to Reproduce

Launch DITA-OT deep into the filesystem of a windows machine.

I’m constantly hitting this problem when trying to publish from the command line on Windows.

Using our own class loader in the org.dita.dost.invoker.Main could also be useful if we want to isolate the JAR libraries contributed by a certain transtype. If a certain transtype is invoked, only its jar libraries and the common jar libraries could be loaded + the libraries from extra plugins this particular transtype depends on.
