os.name for windows return "Windows XP"?

Hi,

There must be someone who is dealing with the same issue. I am trying to take 
multiplatform builds with different ${os.name}.properties file. Linux is not a 
problem, Linux.properties. What about Windows? It becomes Windows 
XP.properties files. 

Can someone enlight me the better way to do this with one word .properties 
name?

Thanks

Barry

I've used this approach in the past

  <target name="set-conditions">
    <condition property="linux">
      <os name="linux"/>
    </condition>

    <condition property="solaris">
      <os name="SunOS"/>
    </condition>

    <condition property="windows">
      <os family="windows"/>
    </condition>
  </target>

You could probably use a single property name and different value attributes 
and load the properties that way. Depends if you want to use if attributes 
later on.

I think this is causing problems during the copying in rpmbuild 
process.

All modern platforms that I know of, which supports Java, can accept 
filenames with an embedded space, so you may be able to work with the 
generated filename directly.

Is there any particular technical reason that you must have single word 
filenames?
