When executing JUnit tests using the Maven Surefire plugin on projects containing white spaces in its name, the white spaces get escaped as "%20".

This causes any file loading of resources from the file system to fail, as folder "/test one/", is not "/test%20one/".

Sample steps to reproduce:

• Package a configuration in src/test/resources named "config.xml".
• Load it in the Test Case with File configFile = new File(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("config.xml").getFile());
• 'mvn test' the project in Jenkins.

Upon execution, the following is thrown at the console log,
