JDK: 1.6.0
OS: Windows XP

If I unzip the JBoss 4.2.0.CR1 zip into a directory with a space character in it, e.g. C:\Program Files, and execute bin/run.bat right away, the server fails to start up reporting an exception ultimately caused by:

java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 16: file:/C:/Program Files/jboss-4.2.0.CR1/server/default/deploy/jbossws.sar/jaxb-api.jar

If I unzip into "C:\Code" JBoss starts up perfectly.

The same issue seems to have been reported against version 5.0.0.Beta:

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3866

Please advise on confirming this issue and the procedure for getting this fix merged into 4.2.0?

Thanks.

Here's the start of the JBoss trace with the full exception in it:
