Hah, every time I think I'm going to unsubscribe from the ant dev list since I do not read it anymore, a thread catches my eye that inevitably has a NetWare question. I'm not sure, but I do not believe that Java on NetWare supports me jumping between servers by saying SERVER\VOLUME:PATH. I'll have to try it real quick and get back to you. No, it does not. This makes sense, since you would need some sort of authentication mechanism to be able to connect to the remote server. I've always considered VOLUME:PATH to be an absolute path. When dealing with absolute or relative on any platform, I think of it from the point of the server on which the code is running. Relative means ./something, or ../../something or something (no leading slash), am I right? You were correct that volume:path and volume:\path are equivalent. NetWare is also very loose on \ vs / I haven't followed your ant changes, and have not tested them on NetWare, and barely have the time to do so if at all, but I really should since there is no reason Ant should not work on NetWare.

I think so too, especially since I opened up FU.isAbsolutePath() to public access. Similarly with Netware... I have worked with older versions of Netware, and on those VOLUME:PATH or VOLUME:\PATH are equivalent but not absolute. VOLUME: is relative to the current server. So SERVER\VOLUME:(\)?PATH is absolute, as is driveletter-colon-separator. Can anyone update my knowledge of Netware file specification conventions?
