Hi
Not a pure ANT question, but it's relevant to building configurations for
remote systems, possibly of another OS...
Is there a simple way to generate file URLs that are guaranteed to work on
another platform?
For example, something like:
config.url=file://${file.system.path}
doesn't work for *nix systems and Windows, because you'll get something like
config.url=file:///home/user/settings.properties
which is fine under *nix, but
config.url=file://C:\Documents and Settings\user\settings.properties
under Windows, which isn't a valid URL because it Java starts looking for a
host call 'C'.
The simplest way out seems to be to define my config.url propeties like
config.url=file:///${file.system.path}
instead, because *nix absorbs the superfluous forward-slash but this doesn't
seem to be a very elegant solution.
