Give extra info about input dir for Windows users.
Windows users typically don't have to worry about supplying a trailing
slash....until they work with some Java programs like Nifi.
An input path such as
"E:\git\nifi\nifi-nar-bundles\nifi-standard-bundle\nifi-standard-processors\src\test\resources\CharacterSetConversionSamples\TestInput"
that does not have a trailing slash will cause NiFi to parse everything in
CharacterSetConversionSamples....not the TestInput folder. To remedy the
situation, Windows users just need to add the trailing slash \ such as
"E:\git\nifi\nifi-nar-bundles\nifi-standard-bundle\nifi-standard-processors\src\test\resources\CharacterSetConversionSamples\TestInput\"
and then NiFi is able to use the correct path and not pickup extra files from
the unexpected parent folder.
Giving this extra hint for Windows users is an easier workaround for now
than doing Windows OS detection with
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-release/org/apache/commons/lang3/SystemUtils.html#IS_OS_WINDOWS
and providing workarounds.
I think most Windows users and developers are aware of this kind of issue
that we deal with everyday, and the extra hint should be enough.
