Space in path is not handled correctly.

Comment 4 Joshua Marinacci 2007-03-26 17:13:49 UTC 
This bug is probably because webstart assumes the URL will be properly encoded as it would if the URL 
was a live link on a webserver. We should probably encode the URL the same way within NetBeans.
Comment 5 Milan Kubec 2007-03-27 08:09:12 UTC 
Yes, that's probably the problem, I hope it can be fixed using ant processing.
Comment 6 Milan Kubec 2007-04-27 08:41:11 UTC 
Fixed. The problem actually wasn't encoding of the codebase attribute in jnlp
file (which is correct), but not using " around exec arguments in ant script.

Comment 7 Milan Kubec 2007-04-27 19:29:08 UTC 
Better fix is to use <arg file="">
