Description Petri Tuononen

Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

Using deprecated method toURL() from the type File is not recommended and could be changed to toURI().toURL() to escape any special characters.

Reproducible: Always

Created patches under dependant projects that should change all calls from deprecated method toURL() from the type File to toURI().toURL() to escape any special characters.

I marked status as Fixed, because I have submitted resolving patches but as far nobody has committed them to the HEAD so I reopen this bug.

Please don't file and modify so many related bugs.  We all have received an enormous number of emails because of this.  Furthermore, none of the PDE Core/UI bugs will be fixed because there is a reason why the toURL() is being used.

We appreciate you trying to help improve PDE.  Next time please just file one bug (or one per component) with one patch.
