Robert Scholte,
I know File.toURL() is deprecated, but I've never seen any proof that
File.toURI().toURL() is enough to fix this problem.
Well, the difference in output of
System.out.println( new File( " " ).toURL() );
System.out.println( new File( " " ).toURI().toURL() );
is easy to notice and checking the URL/URI specs, you see that the
literal space character isn't valid. So, passing around a URL with
unquoted space (or other illegal characters) puts one at the mercy of
the other components. Might wore here and fail there. See MNG-3607 for a
related issue in Maven core and MJBOSS-35 for a nasty consequence.
