I have a .bat file for running on Window (I am using Window 7)
Following is its context:
@echo off
set CLASSPATH=.;./lib/textutils.jar;.\lib\hellotool.jar;.\main.jar
echo %CLASSPATH%
java me.Hello
Please see the second line : set CLASSPATH=.;./lib/textutils.jar;.\lib\hellotool.jar;.\main.jar
It contains both "/" and "\" in CLASSPATH.
The text "./lib/textutils.jar" is created by other script and its use "/" as directory delimiter, others are created manually by myself.
The code can run and jars are loaded normally.
However, I am not sure about the syntax.
I know that:
- Windows and MS-DOS uses "\" (backslash) for directory delimiter and use ";" (semi-colon) as path separator.
For example:
C:\a.jar;C:\b.jar
- Linux and Mac uses "/" (forward slash) for directory delimiter and use ":" (colon) as path separator.
For example:
/User/a.jar:/User/b.jar
So, for my bat file:
Is it really correct?
Why "./lib/textutils.jar" can be loaded with "/" separator?
Is there any problem in future or in other Window version?
Should I change "./lib/textutils.jar" to ".\lib\textutils.jar"?
See sample for more details.
Thank you in advance
