Description

I have two scripts in a directory under C:\Documents and Settings:
A.groovy:
this.class.classLoader.loadClass("B", true, false, true)

and B.groovy which contains a simple (arbitrary) script.

A.groovy fails to find the "B" class. It gets as far as the GroovyClassLoader.getSourceFile, which successfully locates the resource URL "file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/.../B.groovy". However, it then tries to turn this into a File on the line:
File path = new File(ret.getFile()).getParentFile();
This fails, as java.io.File expects the unescaped filename of "C:/Documents and Settings/...", i.e. with the %20s converted to spaces.
