Description
This problem occurs when a second (different) Java version is installed on a windows PC (besides the one provided with the Arduino IDE). Instead of using the provided Java version of the Arduino IDE the maple_upload.bat-file uses the Java version found in the environment path (oftentimes this is a different one).
This results in the following error message:
maple_loader v0.1
Resetting to bootloader via DTR pulse

To solve this problem the following line should be added to the maple_upload.bat:
if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\java\bin" set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\java\bin;%PATH%
This line temporarily changes the PATH during the execution of this batch file and ensures that the correct Java version is used.
