Brett Porter commented on GERONIMO-1286:
----------------------------------------

third time I've seen this in the last couple of days... weird.

notepad seems to be about the only editor I've seen that isn't smart enough to figure this out, so I generally stick with the line endings on the release system, but making sure any batch files and shell files have the correct line endings regardless (as its possible the zip is used on unix, or the tar.gz on windows via cygwin).

> Previously, the line endings on files in a Geronimo distribution were based upon the platform the distribution was built on.
> The build needs to be improved so that no matter what platform Geronimo is built on:
> * the resulting distributions should contain the same files (no files excluded)
> * the resulting zip distribution should have CRLF line endings for viewable/editable text files and therefore is targeted at windows users.
> * the resulting tar.gz distribution should have LF line endings for non-Windows platforms.  All non-Windows users should use the tar.gz file as the tar file also contains permission settings for the files.
