I don't know of either an operating system named "Java" or a file system of that name, only a programming language called so. Programming languages _should_ be "agnostic" toward the system specifics, so how can Java use a specific path element separator? > > Not really - you _have_ to have a way for storing these definitions. > > Whether in a source file or elsewhere, you will have to adjust them on > > another system.

I didn't talk about "seeing a difference", just that it is neccessary to somehow specify where to find the source files a project uses. Usually, the compiler is used to keep track of that, and often this has to be specified on every single call to it (gcc, e.g.). Such compiler behaviour even prompted the development of the "make" system a sa means to automate these things and to allow for persistent storage of the dependencies. BTW, there's a very easy and simple way around this neccessity: just require that _everything_ to compile a project from has to be contained in one big single file that you feed to the compiler. This was in fact the original approach used for Pascal. -- -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
