I too faced this. No need to go all these. Just look at the "System.getProperty("line.separator")". It is of 1 character in Unix and its flavors whereas it is of 2 characters in Windows (\r\n). :(.

And contructing a java.io.File just to concatenate the path isn´t a good solution, IMHO.

Are you just trying to make your life miserable? It baffles me why people don’t use:
fullpath = new File(parentDir, relativePath)

to concatenate file paths. Are you just trying to make your life miserable?

However, while this works find in a Java application, it doesn't work so well in an Ant build script that references java.io.tmpdir to place temporary files. So this blog entry is still useful. Rob Clemens,
