Mark Brouwer resolved RIVER-203.
--------------------------------

       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s: AR2

{{ClassDep}} specifies Platform specific classpaths and file paths. I don't think we should take 'advantage' of the fact Java also accepts the wrong file separator for the Windows platform. I believe that Ant can provide the proper abstraction layer so you won't run into any problems as the build files of the River project show, or that other Ant tasks on top of {{ClassDep}} provide.

> When specifying directories in Windows, ClassDep requires that such directories contain '\' as the file separator character.  
> Java, on the other hand, also recognizes '/' as a file separator character in Windows.  
> Changing ClassDep to also recognize '/' as a file separator character in Windows would lessen the number of changes required to port scripts between OSes.
