------------------------------

Fiona,

Did you get a chance to test it on Windows? We are waiting for your feedback about the patch before integrating it. The sooner you do it, the better, else this bug may miss the next maintenance release.

> Note: In terms of creating a patch for this issue - there was already a patch created yesterday for a different issue relating to felix install. I don't think the patch has been released yet - so just to make sure there are not overwrites.
> Issue is below....
> Just in terms of the issue with the spaces, Guido suggested I put quotes around the directory. However this causes the system to go into an endless loop!
> Behaviour is as follows:
> When I define felix.fileinstall.dir=watchedDir (i.e. without quotes), and when 'watchedDir' actually resolves to E:\Documents and Settings\some\path\watchedDir, then I get the following error when I drop a bundle into that directory:
> ERROR    20090612 10:01:28 bid#11       - Failed to install bundle: /E:/Documents and Settings/some/path/watchedDir/print-service-0.0.2.jar (java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 13: /E:/Documents and Settings/some/path/watchedDir/print-service-0.0.2.jar)

> When I define felix.fileinstall.dir="watchedDir" (i.e. with quotes around the directory) I get the endless loop, when I start up the container. here's a bit of the output:
> ERROR    20090612 10:08:33 bid#11       - In main loop, we have serious trouble
> (java.lang.NullPointerException)

> va:120)
> (this is an endless loop of output)
> If I do the same things in a directory that doesn't contain spaces i.e. if I move the whole set up to directly under the E: directory, this doesn't happen.
> This is actually an issue since I can't guarantee that anyone else who will checkout and use this code will not be also on Windows and in their home directory (i.e. C:/Documents and Settings/${username}. Really it becomes useless to me as a project solution.
> Thanks,
> Fiona.
