 I expect the same applies to keys.  An "end of switch processing" switch w=
ould be useful, forcing 'regtool' to interpret all remaining arguments lite=

Fortunately, you are mistaken.  regtool uses getopt_long(), and
therefore, like all other programs that use this, automatically inherits
the POSIX rule that '--' is the marker for "end of switch processing".

Try:

regtool -s set '\HKCU\Environment\MAVEN_OPS' -- "-Xms512m -Xmx3072m
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote"
