      We and our customer switched to Confluence and we want now migrate our existing JSPWikis (270 & 540 pages) to Confluence. But now we figured out major problems with the export/import mechanism of Confluence (http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/Wiki+Importer): Especially we have big troubles to get our links to internal (pages and attachements) as well as external links correct into Confluence. Currently we have a state that makes it impossible to perform the migration to Confluence (both enterprise versions)

      Following some issues I've noticed during a test run:
      1.) During the migration of attachements the file-names are loosing all their '-' characters with the result that all attachment-links brakes.

      2.) The import also reases all '-' characters in imported links (URLs; in this case external links). For instance a link to 'http://www.'mgm-edv.de' will become 'http://www.'mgmedv.de'! --> a lot of broken links!

      3.) Blanks in attachement file-names will also lead to broken attachement links in the pages.

      4.) Has the attachment link in JSP-Wiki an alias like a filename.ext (e.g. [readme.doc|^readme_all_the_time.doc]) then this results also in malformed links --> [^readme.doc|readme_all_the_time.doc].
