Description

When an ivysettings file is included from a path with spaces in it, the ivy.settings.dir property becomes doubly escaped. I run into this problem when trying to configure the ivy classpath. This is causing a lot of pain for our team members using windows since they want to keep everything under their home directory which includes spaces in the path due to the "C:\Documents and Settings" directory. I'll be attaching a testcase which throws an exception when "java -jar ivy-2.1.0.jar -settings ivysettings.xml" is called. The exception root cause is:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: impossible to define new type: class not found: Foo in file:/tmp/x/dir%2520with%2520spaces/foo.jar nor Ivy classloader
