1. Create a map and add a shapefile to it from a location which
contains spaces in the path - the layer will render correctly.
2. Leave the map open and close uDig. 3. Restart uDig - the map
loads up but the shapefile layer does not render. Here's the
error log... !ENTRY net.refractions.udig.project 1 0 2009-05-19
17:00:03.250 !MESSAGE Layer: coastline could not find a
GeoResource with id:file:/C:/Documents and Settings/Dave S-B/My 
Documents/Clients/FDSL/Projects/Target/Data/FixedShapefiles/coas
tline.shp#coastline ...however, that file url is correct.
Everything works ok when there are no spaces (and ok in uDig
1.1).
