Hi,
This may not be relevant here, but one standard "gotcha" that keeps
hitting me is a difference in the platforms default encoding. Ie some
machines have a default of ISO-88591, some CP1252, and some UTF-8. The
JVM then just merrily does stuff using the default encoding, and thus
developers get a working system and the production systems don't...
In some ways its better to have developers all working with different
defaults, so at least issues like this get caught early.
A thought anyway.
