...Regarding the last section about the XML-parser sending af single '\n' -
I belive that from at least XML 1.1 it is mandatory for XML-parsers to send
a single '\n' up to applications disregarding platform and actual EOL-marker
within input-files parsed (with the purpose of simplifying processing within
applications, I believe) - perhaps the existing parser already does this...

Just a thought, have no idea if it applies here.

Subject: ReplaceTest failing under cygwin


ReplaceTest fails under cygwin.
    [junit] Testcase: test9 took 0,13 sec
     [junit]    FAILED     [junit] expected:<10> but was:<13>
     [junit] junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: expected:<10> but
was:<13>

This has to do with the fact that the Replace task changes the line endings
of tokens and values to System.getProperty("line.separator"), but that the
files used for the tests are terminated with \n only when one uses the
cvs.exe of cygwin.

I can think of several ways of fixing this :

- the easiest would be to change the Replace task, not to touch the line
endings of tokens and values at all. After all, I do not know why they get
such a special treatment. But this would also be a backward incompatible
change,

- adding an enumerated attribute eol (like in the fixcrlf task) to the
nested elements <replacetoken/>, <replacevalue/>, <replacefilter/>. Like in
the fixcrlf task, the platform's line separator would be the default there,
and "asis" would be used to run the test(s) with predictable results.

Is the reason why line endings of tokens and values in <replace/> are
manipulated that, when they are read from <!<[CDATA[, the xml parser sends
to ant \n as line separator also on Windows, which is generally not what is
desired ? When on the contrary the replacetoken or replacevalue come from a
property, the build file writer is fully in control of the flavour of the
line endings of the tokens and values and would not need any special
manipulation.

Cheers,

Antoine
