Description Michael A. McAngus 2003-07-25 00:00:41 UTC 
javac fails because the java compiler provided with the SDK does not handle 
spaces in path provided up to the Source File.

While it is true that spaces are not valid for package names, the directory 
structure beneath the package directories can have spaces without consequences.

If absolute paths are going to be fed to the java compiler by the javac task, 
then spaces should be escaped in a manner appropriate to the OS.
