I haven't been an active participant in this project for quite a while but
if my vote counts:
-1
the *.bat and *.sh files add an extra level of convenience, the entire goal
behind the TDK is to make _using_ Turbine (as oppose to developing Turbine)
as easy an possible. Removing the files would be a step backward. Besides,
the *.bat file only has minor problem which can be easily fixed:
Change this line:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe -classpath "%CLASSPATH%" org.apache.tools.ant.Main
%1% %2% %3% %4%
to this:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe -classpath "%CLASSPATH%" org.apache.tools.ant.Main
%1 %2 %3 %4
and if I get one "summit-a-patch" reply for this, I'm going to scream!!!
