Even the ".sh" extension is not common for the base command--though it is common for called scripts. For example if there was the following:
merlin merlin.bat merlin-cygwin.sh merlin-unix.sh merlin-darwin.sh
And delegate from "merlin" to the "merlin-xxx" depending on platform?? That is cool...
Exactly.
That would give what you want and what the user wants. Most folks believe it is easier to maintain one script file so that is why things like Merlin, Maven, and ANT have everything in one file.
It seems that the problem we are partly facing is that CygWin uses the Windows JDK, and not the "Unix-flavoured" one...
Exactly. And this is why Darwin is different from both Cygwin and Unix.
It cannot be helped--unless you know of source code for a JVM that runs on Windows but behaves like Unix.
