That's what CI builds are so great for. Now, ASF does not yet have Windows or OS X boxes ready for this, but I think at least a Windows box is on the way. Hopefully, we can get a Hudson slave on it. In addition to file system differences, NIO itself behaves quite differently on different platforms, so I would argue that MINA/NIO projects in general would benefit from running tests on multiple platforms. You know, WORA :-) /niklas
