It doesn't work in Linux for the reasons you mentioned.  You can
probably just use "java" and it will work for both? (I can't test
on Windows at the moment).  The backslash doesn't work on Linux,
but I believe that forward slash will work on both.  If not, then you
can use File.separator.

I probably didn't build dist just because there was no need to, its
no big deal to add it, but you can avoid doing so by using
-classpath instead of -jar if you wish.

The following that works on Linux and I believe it would work on windows
too:

	List<String> args = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(
		"java",
		"-classpath",
		"build/classes" + File.pathSeparator + "lib/compile/*",
		"uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.main.Main",
		Args.TEST_STYLE_ARG
	));
	args.addAll(Arrays.asList(in));

I do not see anything wrong with doing it that way as long as it works
in all environments.
