FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0-beta2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0-beta2-b51, mixed mode)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The URL from Class.getResource doesn't encode the sign "+" correctly.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Make a directory:
mkdir test+test

2. Make a test structure:
cd test+test
mkdir resourceTest
mkdir "resourceTest/dir with space"
mkdir "resourceTest/dir+with+space"
touch "resourceTest/file with space"
touch "resourceTest/file+with+space"

3. Store the program below in the directory test+test
public class ResourceLoaderTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        System.out.println(ResourceLoaderTest.class.getResource("resourceTest/dir with space"));
        System.out.println(ResourceLoaderTest.class.getResource("resourceTest/dir+with+space"));
        System.out.println(ResourceLoaderTest.class.getResource("resourceTest/file with space"));
        System.out.println(ResourceLoaderTest.class.getResource("resourceTest/file+with+space"));
    }
}


4. Compile and run the given test program
java ResourceLoaderTest.java
javac -classpath . ResourceLoaderTest


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
  From step 4, I would have expected this output:

file:/myHome/test%2Btest/resourceTest/dir%20with%20space
file:/myHome/test%2Btest/resourceTest/dir%2Bwith%2Bspace
file:/myHome/test%2Btest/resourceTest/file%20with%20space
file:/myHome/test%2Btest/resourceTest/file%2Bwith%2Bspace

ACTUAL -
file:/myHome/test+test/resourceTest/dir%20with%20space
file:/myHome/test+test/resourceTest/dir+with+space
file:/myHome/test+test/resourceTest/file%20with%20space
file:/myHome/test+test/resourceTest/file+with+space

Note that the spaces are URL-encoded but the plusses are not. If you were to run this through URLDecoder.decode the two dirs and the two files would give the same strings.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
