Team, I'd like to get rid of build.bat, build.sh, and build.properties.win all in the home folder -- to build the app, just type "ant" or "mvn". (Also install.sh, which, referencing Tomcat 3.x, is apparently useless today.) But, first a question on build.properties.win -- do we really need it? I don't have Windows so I can't confirm its claim that build.properties won't work with it, quote in build.properties.win:

#  Java and Windows do not mix too well, so you will have to put
#  four \'s for every \ in the path...
#
@appname@=JSPWiki
@pagedir@=C:\\\\temp\\\\wikipages
@logfile@=C:\\\\temp\\\\jspwiki.log
@securitylog@=C:\\\\temp\\\\security.log
@spamlog@=C:\\\\temp\\\\spamlog.log
...

Does anyone use Windows for building JSPWiki and can confirm build.properties won't work with it? I know Ant has a "${/file/./separator/}"[1] that can be used if necessary to have something portable to both *nix and Windows (and I've never heard of the need for O.S.-specific file separators when using Maven) -- getting rid of the need for two separate build.properties files (if, indeed, there is such a need), will help with Mavenization.

Regards,
Glen
