A very focused study intended Java programmers willing to write a much
as possible portable codes on various Unix and non Unix platforms,
meanwhile offering their end-users OS specific filenames/paths
syntaxes.

The study with its documented tests is viewable at

In the hope it can helps.

Dear Java programmer,

This very focused study intended Java programmers dealing with
different OSes and willing to write as much as simple and portable
Java code is evolving. The latest version of the document is available
at http://vouters.dyndns.org/tima/All-OS-Java-Java_code_dealing_with_OS_specific_file_syntaxes.html

The main idea is to not bother Java codes with OS specific file/path
syntaxes such as found on Windows and OpenVMS meanwhile permitting the
Java code end-user the file syntax he is used to.

Along with the TestFileSyntax.zip I propose for downloading, you ought
to be able to test almost all Unix/Windows/OpenVMS file syntaxes
indifferently on your Unix/Windows/OpenVMS computer. This is described
in the DOWLOAD section of this document.

This pre-study is aimed at best porting parts of JRuby onto OpenVMS.
Some positive results with JRuby 1.6.6 have been achieved under
Windows. However I do need JRuby developers acceptance for the result
I achieve. This might hurt many Windows JRuby users observing a pure
Unix file syntax instead of the pure Windows file syntax they may be
used to.
