If I specify an absolute classpath as below in the compile-test target and run
this on Win2000 I
see the path get translated to one relative to the project basedir and
subsequently thrown
out because it does not exist. The problem is that when the
Project.resolveFile(String)
only looks for the unix style absolute path:
Project.java:413 if (fileName.startsWith("/")) return new File( fileName
);
The Javac.compileClasspath value that is passed to Project.revolveFile(String)
from within
the Javac.addExistingToClasspath(StringBuffer ,String ) method is translated to
the native
OS path of "\usr\local\Java\packages" when the compileClasspath property was
set in
Javac.setClasspath(String).
Shouldn't java.io.File object be used in place of String paths to avoid having
to keep track
of what path delimiters are being used?
