Haughton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing updated LAUNCHER-10:
---------------------------------------------------------

    Description: 
Class.getResource returns a url-encoded(as opposed to x-www-form-urlencoded) 
URL object. 
This causes problems where file paths contain plus characters. Decoding as 
"x-www-form-urlencoded" assumes the plus(+) translates to a space character. 
However, the File URL is actually "url-encoded" not "x-www-form-urlencoded", so 
spaces are actually encoded as '%20' rather than plus(+) 
Need to decode the URL using url-encoded as opposed to x-www-form-urlencoded 
encoding
Java's URLDecoder only supports x-www-form-urlencoded
Use JDK's URI class to do the decoding.

Have implemented a fix and patch file to follow.
