Build fails if folder path in build.properties uses backslash
-------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: BEEHIVE-675
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-675
     Project: Beehive
        Type: Bug
  Components: Documentation  
    Versions: V1    
    Reporter: Rebecca Weinhold

In Step 1 (under the heading "Edit the build.properties File") of the Controls 
tutorial, the user is to "Edit the beehive.home property so it points to the 
top-level folder of your beehive installation."  If the user enters this folder 
path as "C:\apache\apache-beehive-1.0" instead of 
"C:/apache/apache-beehive-1.0", the build fails when they perform "ant clean" 
in Step 2, under the heading "To Compile and Deploy the Control".

The failure mentions that the file 
"C:apacheapache-beehive-1.0/beehive-imports.xml" cannot be found, so it seems 
that backslashes are simply not recognized by Ant.  This requirement of using 
forward slashes should be specified in the tutorial, as it is likely to come up 
for Windows users.
