• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Blocker
• Resolution: Not A Problem

Description

• Create two directories: "nospace" and "with space" (and make sure the path does not contain any other spaces)
• download karaf-2.2.2 and extract a copy into each directory.

• executing nospace/karaf/bin/karaf works just fine

  karaf@root> features:listurl
   Loaded   URI
    true    mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/standard/2.2.2/xml/features
    true    mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/enterprise/2.2.2/xml/features
  

• executing with space/karaf/bin/karaf does not work

  karaf@root> features:listurl
   Loaded   URI
  No repository URLs are set.
  

  It seems that the featres.cfg is not read at all when the path contains a space.

Adding a URI manually also does not work:

karaf@root> features:addurl mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/standard/2.
2.2/xml/features
Could not add Feature Repository:
java.net.MalformedURLException: Illegal character in path at index 31: file:/home/christophg/test/with space/apache-karaf-2.2.2/system/
