Thanks for the heads-up, Chris. Let us
know when you have a patch. Sounds like this is serious enough to require a
re-spin.

Subject: [wtp-pmc] Critical Web
services bug 161250 needed in WTP 1.5.2
Importance: High
PMC,
a
bug we found recently in WTP 1.5.2 has turned out to be much worse, 161250. The
bug causes the Web service wizard to throw an exception while checking for the
existence and currency of "webserviceutils.jar" in a Web project to
which Web service sample JSPs are about to be generated. It occurs whenever
spaces are involved in the installation path of the platform. It occurs at the
point we try to construct a java.net.URI from a file: URL string that has
non-encoded spaces (ie. " " instead of "%20").
This
is a regression, and while I try to figure out why we have not found this
before, is one I consider stop-ship for the release. We are in the process of
writing a simple patch since the root problem is quite basic in nature, but I
wanted to get this bug on the PMC's radar right away in the hope of
pre-starting the voting process. I'll post to wtp-dev & wtp-pmc again once
we have the patch applied to the bug and extremely well tested.
Sorry
for the 11th hour alarm, and thanks for your support.
Cheers - CB.
