I just found an issue (for Tomcat 4.0) that affected *only* users of
Windows and JDK 1.3.0. It may or may not apply to Ant, but here's the
scoop just in case.
Tomcat 4.0 was generating a URL for a classloader repository like this
under some circumstances:
C:\Jakarta\build\tomcat-4.0\.\webapps\scarab\WEB-INF\classes/
which would be *silently* ignored because of the "\.\" characters, even
though this same URL worked just fine under JDK 1.2.2 on Windows. The
Linux version of JDK 1.3 didn't have any problem with "/./" in the
analogous URL, so it's very much platform specific.

That's a +1 for sure.
