Hi,
I also had this problem and it turns out, that the URLs are actually wrong
because space is an unsafe character ([1]) and must always be encoded.
Unfortunately, the java.io.File.toURL() method handles blanks in path names
incorrectly and does NOT encoded them. The workaround since Java 1.4 is to
use java.io.File.toURI().toURL() (or just File.toURI().toString() when
preparing properties).
we do the same (ie. use toURI) in Pax Runner when creating the Felix
property file, to make sure any unsafe characters get encoded properly
(most browsers handle spaces ok, which makes them appear safe)
similarly, you have to be careful with the number of slashes after the
file: protocol, ie. *don't* use "file://" + path as this will be ok on unix
but break on windows (with file://c:/... c gets parsed as a hostname).
So, IMHO Felix is quite correct assuming a space delimited list is safe and
ok.

Felix
