[xep-support] Path limitations on Java command line

[Brett Karopczyc]

I'm using XEP v4.4 (Java) from the command line on Mac OS X, and have 
noticed that XEP refuses to format if the path to the FO file contains 
either the '%' or '#' characters.  Below is some sample output:

$ java com.renderx.xep.XSLDriver -fo /Test#2/Test.fo
(document [system-id file:/Test#2/Test.fo]
   (compile )
   (format )
   (generate [output-format pdf]))

I/O error: java.io.EOFException: no more input
$

and

$ java com.renderx.xep.XSLDriver -fo /Test%2/Test.fo
(document [system-id file:/Test%2/Test.fo]
   (compile )
   (format )
   (generate [output-format pdf]))
error: formatting failed: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
$


I'm currently working around this problem by altering the names of the 
paths to the FO files to process, but was wondering if there was a 
simple solution or a list of other characters to avoid in a path.  
Every other character I've tried using in a path (@,$,&,*, etc.) works 
just fine.

Thanks,
