Description

Hi,

I noticed that the java command fails when using long classpaths on windows, while the classpath also has entries that contain spaces.

The issue is that the manifest in the pathing jar uses space as a separator between classpath entries, and entries aren't URI-encoded. A classpath entry with a space in it is incorrectly treated as 2 entries.

I created a PR on Github (https://github.com/apache/buildr/pull/29). It is for an older revision, as we use buildr 1.4 internally. It should be easy enough to merge though, as it's a one-liner fix.
