FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Inconsistancy problem (when upgarding from 1.3 to 1.4)

When using URL.getFile() of directory with white spaces the
white spaces becomes %20

When creaing new File with %20 the file generation fails

I.E new File(Class.getResource("").getFile).exists()
return false if Class path have whith spaces.

This problem occures in j2sdk1.4 but doesn't occur in
j2sdk1.3

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.create class A.class put it in directory
c:\directoy a\class (directory with white space)
2.in another class execute
 new File(A.class.getResource("").getFile).exists();
3.this will return false; Although the directory exists.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
new File(A.class.getResource("resource/").getFile).exists();
should return true, as it used to in 1.3.1

but in 1.4.0 it returns false.

This bug can be reproduced always.
