> User reported Document Analyzer failing to write correct names in the output directory, when the input directory had a blank in it (on Windows).  Traced this to failing URL handling.
> Proper URL handling seems to need to observe these principles:
> 1) URL may have "blanks" and other "invalid-in-URI chars"
> 2) URL may have %20 style encoding of blanks and other need-to-be-escaped characters
> Creating files from these: need to use File(a-uri-form).
> Creating URIs from URLs - if the URL has unescaped blanks, etc., the form
> new URI(aUrl) fails; the aUrl.toURI() fails (i.e., throws an exception due to illegal chars for URI).
> To make the URI creation put in the escape chars if they're not there, you need to use the multi-arg form of new URI (see Javadocs).
> Fix the patches in UIMA-1879 and UIMA-1748.
