    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * The impact is to users who wish to install analytics on      *

    * found on WAS Version 7.                                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * If the path to the analytics EAR file, or if the EAR file    *
    * itself contains spaces, Analytics will not start on WAS, and *
    * will fail with a NullPointerException.                       *
