Summary: Value of the "osgi.instance.area" property (and possibly other OSGI-based properties) contains blanks

Description Isaac Shabtay CLA 2010-11-17 15:00:04 EST 
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

According to the documentation, Eclipse "locations" (such as osgi.instance.area) are URL's. However, on Windows, when a workspace is located at a path with a blank, the "osgi.instance.area" property contains a string such as:

file:/C:/Documents and Settings/user/workspace/

Notice the blanks... These should be converted to %20.

Now, I'm not sure where the fault really is. I'm guessing Ant is receiving the "osgi.instance.area" value from the platform, but I may be wrong. Either way, the problem is either with the Ant tooling or with deeper in the platform.

Unless I'm smoking something cheap in which case I'll be glad to stand corrected.


Isaac
