>             Project: Hadoop Core
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: mapred
>    Affects Versions: 0.18.0
>         Environment: Client in Windows XP with hadoop-0.18.0 and server running on Linux x64 with java "1.6.0_10-beta"

>   Original Estimate: 24h

> DistributedCache.addfileToClassPath adds the files to mapred.job.classpath.files which can be seen in the jobs xml description. When the job is created and submitted from a windows machine the path separator is ";". This can be seen in the configuration: mapred.job.classpath.files	/user/garo/lib/javolution.jar;/user/garo/lib/java-utils.jar
> When the job is submitted over network to a Hadoop cluster running on Linux the path separator is ":". This affects the DistributedCache.getFileClassPath method which separates the mapred.job.classpath.files configuration using the system path separator, which is ":". This renders all classpath additions invalid using DistributedCache.addFileToClassPath.
> Temporary sollution: I've simply added ";" to the StringTokenizer in DistributedCache.getFileClassPath, but I'm not certain if it's a good sollution.
