RFR [8014792] Need a test to check if path to java debugger has spaces

[Staffan Larsen]

Ivan,

I'm not sure this test adds anything to the current testing. As far as I understand, the test checks if jdb is in a location that contains space and then tries to start it. If the path does not contain space it does nothing. We already have many tests that launch jdb, regardless of space in the path, and it thus looks to me like this new test does not add anything to the testing. 

If you want to really verify the bug you need to move jdb into a location that actually has a space in it and then launch it.

Please let me know if I misunderstood your test.

Thanks,
/Staffan
