Any of you OS X using Ant developers have an opinion on this, esp. based on the link David provides above? i.e. _should_ OS X's Unix-ness override its Mac-ness with regard to line endings? This is actually an easy question, come to think of it... if Java versions on OS X continue to say that the System line.separator property is CR, probably that's what fixcrlf should do and we note the discrepancy in the manual. So if someone could verify the value of line.separator on OS X, we can probably resolve this. Assuming noone disagrees with this means of resolving the issue. -Matt > -- > Configure bugmail: > http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email > ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- > You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching > the assignee. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
