[Embedded] Deployment of application containing `activation-1.1.jar` fails when using uber-jar (Issue 11149)

Description

When using embedded with glassfish-embedded-all-3.0-b73.jar, deployment fails with the following error:

SEVERE: WEB9051: Error trying to scan the classes at
/private/var/folders/CV/CVhj8DvqEwGK5bdJKK9TaE   TI/-Tmp-
/gfembed6991712842235699248tmp/applications/xwiki-enterprise-web-2.0/
WEB-INF/lib/activation-1.1.jar for annotations in which a 
ServletContainerInitializer has expressed interest
java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file

The issue occurs because embedded uses a folder with plus signs (+), and plus signs in a path are converted into space characters " " when the path is decoded.

For more information, see Issue report.

Workaround

A system property has been added that enables you to place temporary directories. The property is glassfish.embedded.tmpdir and can be set so the temporary domain directory is not placed in the user directory.
