Yes. All documentation I could find was very explicit about only using
space as separator. Also all jar files I could find that use this
feature use space exclusively. Besides "path.separator" is different
depending on the platform used so that would make jars that use that in
describing the additional class path elements unusable on a platform
that uses a different "path.separator".
