Java Programming

Hi Guys,

I am trying to open a file using Desktop.getDesktop().open() and get this exception:

2008-12-09 09:36:16,537 [SwingWorker-pool-1-thread-68] ERROR
(PDFExporter.java:121) - Could not generate report

I think that the problem is related to the encoding '%20'. when I use file.getPath() (or file.getAbsolutePath() ) I get a clear path (without encoding- just normal spaces).

Can you tell why the %20 is added? how can I remove it (or have the system use it).

Thanks,
Uri
