Eddie O'Neil updated BEEHIVE-675:
---------------------------------
Assign To: Steve Hanson
Fix Version: V1
The issue here is that Java .properties files need to have '\' escaped
correctly as '\\', so if there is need to define a path with win32 slashes, it
needs to be :
c:\\apache\\apache-beehive-1.0
which Ant (and Java) should handle correctly.
This is why Ant files tend to default to:
c:/apache/apache-beehive-1.0
because Ant does the right thing depending on the platform.
One option here woudld be to just point to the Ant documentation for how to
define properties files.
> Build fails if folder path in build.properties uses backslash

> 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.
