1) open javdoc wizard on project
2) enter destination name where the last folder name contains a space character
3) 'finish' the wizard
4) select a class with javadoc within that project
5) from context menu select 'Open external javadoc'
-> a help viewer appears showing the folder containing the javadoc
   as iconic 'files and folders' (and not html)

note that I am using IHelp.displayHelpResource(IHelpResource),
(IHelpResource.getHref() {
  return url.toExternalForm();
)

with
IHelp.displayHelpResource(url.toExternalForm())
things work, but then I run into the javascript access error, which isn't there 
with the first method

for M5 I change out code to
IHelp.displayHelpResource(url.toExternalForm())

There is a bit of inconsistency in the way we handle url's. In some cases we 
call URLEncoder.encode(urlstring), in other cases we don't. It is also 
difficult to know whether the caller has already encoded his url or not. 
Perhaps we should just be consistent and always encode them.

Fixed.
There is now an "Access Denied" error when displaying javadoc inside help but 
this is caused by the buggy html generated by the standard doclet.
