Javadoc useexternalfile fails with directory names containing spaces
My project has a large collection of source files. When I use the
'useexternalfile' option to build the javadoc, my base directory could not
contain any space character. Otherwise, the build will fail.
I think this might be a Ant javadoc task problem, because the 'fileset' tag
treats the space character as a delimiter. Thus, if a directory is called
'foo bar', it becomes two directories 'foo' and 'bar'.
I don't have such problem if I set the 'useexternalfile' option off.
I wonder if this is considered a bug, or perhaps, it is not a good practice
to have directory names with spaces. Any workaround with this?

It's most definitely a bug.
Can you post the issue details in Jira?
