[Coco] Drivewire 4 vs. Java 9

[Mathieu Bouchard]

Wouldn't just be about prepending the folder name where to find version 8 of 
JAVA.EXE, to this command ?

   java -jar DW4UI.jar --backup
or
   java -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -jar DW4UI.jar --backup

(whichever works best)

e.g.

   C:\MyStuff\Whatever\Java_8.0\java -jar DW4UI.jar --backup
