Description

The integration-tests use "org.apache.stanbol.commons.testing.jarexec.JarExecutor" to start the Stanbol Full launcher in an own JVM. This instance is than used to test the RESTful interface of Apache Stanbol

The JarExecutor uses Apache Commons Exec to build and execute the command required to start the Stanbol Full launcher. if the path to the JAR file contains an char that need to be escaped, than Commons Exec automatically quotes it. In principle this is perfectly OK however the "java" executable does not interpret quotation marks. Because of that is directly evaluates the parsed path including the quotes. This results in the following log messages

Unable to access jarfile "/Users/ale/Documents/text mining/stanbol/stanbol/stanbol/integration-tests/target/dependency/org.apache.stanbol.launchers.full-0.9.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT.jar"

Note the "text mining" folder.

Workaround:
==========

Do not use paths that include spaces and/or quotes to checkout/compile/test Apache Stanbol.
