Description

I have 2 groovy scripts:

Caller.groovy
++++++++++++++
c = new Callee()
c.hello()

Callee.groovy
++++++++++++++
class Callee {
void hello()

{ println "hello, world" }

}

When scripts are in the following directory: "C:\fun fun" I run the following command:

C:>groovy -cp . Caller
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, Caller.groovy: 1: unable to resolve class Callee
@ line 1, column 5.
c = new Callee()
^

1 error

If I run from the directory named "C:\fun" it runs fine.

Conclusion the space in the directory name causes problems for the classloader.
