File.separator is intended only for rendering paths to the user. A windows user is going to be very confused by C:/foo/bar.
It serves absolutely no purpose anywhere else, and I consider it a bug that this concept is not properly documented in the appopriate java doc. Feel free to mark down any erroneous use of File.separator as a cleanliness bug*. *) this kind of bug doesn't cause the program to fail, it just needlessly uglies up your code, hurting flexibility and maintainability. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
