I had been using this plugin very successfully to work around Windows path length limitations in my Kotlin project, and was surprised when a clean checkout of my project failed to run on a new machine. Eventually, I cracked open the mfjars classpath jar which was being used to launch the program and looked at the Class-Path in the Manifest.MF file. I noticed there were spaces in the paths (the user name on this new machine is "FirstName LastName") which were causing the issue.
I did some testing with a local build of this plugin, and if it converts any spaces in the paths to the URL space escape charactor %20 it will fix this issue. I also bumped the version to 0.2.0 to reflect the change.
Can you please merge and publish? Thank you for all your work on this, it was very useful to find such an easy solution for that issue.
