Why doesn't my application launch into my browser?

Discussion: You select 'Run as...' > WOApplication; the project runs; you can copy the url out of the console and into the browser; but it doesn't conveniently launch straight into the browser anymore.
Solution: You probably have a space in your Eclipse project name; eg. 'My Project' remove it, or replace it suitably, eg. 'MyProject' and it will probably all start working again. :p
Discussion: Presumably, the launch fails because the Eclipse project name automatically forms part of the URL for running the application as a WOApplication in Eclipse/WOLips. However, a space is not a legal character for a URL as we know, and must usually be escaped with UTF-8 encoding as '%20'.
