I installed the following patch in GNU Classpath CVS to document this.

2005-02-15  Mark Wielaard  <address@hidden>

       * java/util/jar/Attributes.java (Name.CLASS_PATH): Document that
       file path elements are separated by spaces.

Merge for libgcj to resync java/util/jar comming up.

Cheers,

Mark
