On Windows 7, at least, a batch 'FOR' loop, when executing a command for the list, does not use the current working directory, but the root. In this case, the command is '%java_exe% -jar lib\archquery.jar'. However, it's effectively being run from the root, e.g. 'C:\'. You can see this for your self with this simple test from the command line:

for /f %a in ('CD') do echo %a

So the command to run archquery is looking for the jar relative to the root directory, not your ADT directory, and thus can't be found.
