tracker issue : CF-3134418

Problem Description:

The ColdFusion Administrator seems to be handling changes to JVM config inconsistently, often resulting in bad formatting in the jvm.config file, which causes ColdFusion not to start.  I've noticed different behavior in the default cfusion instance vs. additional instances I've created. 

Steps to Reproduce:

In the default cfusion instance, if you log into the ColdFusion Administrator and make a change to the JVM config (try changing the min/max jvm heap size) and save it.  Now go open the jvm.config file for the default instance.  Here's what I found in mine:

java.home=C:\\ColdFusion10\\jre
application.home=C:\\ColdFusion10\\cfusion

Notice the double back slashes?  That's the problem here.  The slashes should be single, and they should be forward slashes, not back slashes.

For additional ColdFusion instances created through the CF Admin, the problem gets worse.  I created a second instance and attempted to change the JVM config (again, min/max heap size).  When I saved my changes and opened the jvm.config file in a text editor, here's what I found:

java.home=C:/ColdFusion10/jre

#
# If no java.home is specified a VM is located by looking in these places in this
# order:
#
#  1) ../runtime/jre
#  2) registry (windows only)
#  3) JAVA_HOME env var plus jre (ie $JAVA_HOME/jre)
#  4) java.exe in path
#

application.home=C:ColdFusion10cfusion2

Two issues here.  The first is that the actual format of the file is different than for the default instance.  Why is that?  Shouldn't the formatting for all instances be the same?  Also, you're correctly using forward slashes for the java.home value here. 

The second and more serious of the issues is the value of application.home.  It seems that ColdFusion has stripped the forward slashes out of the file path.  This will cause ColdFusion not to restart as it's obviously now a bad file path.
