Description Jason Rush 2001-09-05 03:07:03 UTC 
Note: This is specific to testing with JDK 1.4.

If the path for an External Browser (Command Line) contains spaces (i.e.
c:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\netscape.exe), the IDE will be
unable to start the external browser.  As a workaround, the user must use DOS
paths (i.e. C:\PROGRA~1\NETSCAPE\COMMUN~1\PROGRAM\NETSCAPE.EXE).

This is a regression from the behavior of FFJ 3.0 with JDK 1.3.1.

It occurs on Win98 too. works fine on linux. It looks like problem of
NbProcessDescriptor.

Comment 3 Jason Rush 2001-09-05 17:43:50 UTC 
I wanted to note that this may be related to BugTraq bug #4479699, a 
JDK bug which claims to be fixed in Merlin Beta 2.  However, I was 
testing with Merlin Beta 2 and was still seeing problems with 
commands containing spaces.  It may be helpful to look into that JDK 
bug as a starting point for fixing this bug.

Verified in NB 3.3 RC1.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
