Had a programmer build a filepath using "\" instead of "/" , because he's windows centric (duh). Works great on my mostly windows deployments, but fails spectacularly on Unix/Linux boxes. Is there a Java option that can force the Linux boxes to treat the backslash as a forward slash? [Jeff Janner] Obviously, the answer to my question above was "No!", though no one bothered to address it directly. Fixing the code for future releases, but need to get something working now with existing code. [Jeff Janner] Yes, I changed all hard-coded path separators to "/" and recompiled. Luckily, I had the time to make the correction before it went out to the customer base.
