moving from windows to unix

[hi...@accenture.com]

Hello folks,
We are going to move our system and code from windows to unix, and so are the ant scripts of course.
My question is the following:
-does it take any headaches to do ant script migration from win32 to unix?(i personally don't see a lot of changes but well..).
-If so ,what do u guys advise to pay attention to?

Thanks.

Start with these:
 - all <exec> calls within the build files
- any batch files that are used to setup environment variables and call Ant 
will have to be converted to shell scripts with the appropriate syntax
- watch for backslashes anywhere and change them
- remember that files and directories in UNIX are case-sensitive, while this 
is not true in Windows - any differences between the names as used in the 
build scripts and those on the filesystem will be exposed as soon as you try 
to run on UNIX.
- strip any DOS end-of-line characters out of your scripts (usually just an 
annoyance, but can cause problems)
 I hope this helps.
