             Summary: Review the path spec for shell file and directory paths on Linux and Windows
                 Key: FORGE-1033
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1033
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: UI - Shell
    Affects Versions: 1.3.3.Final
            Reporter: Vineet Reynolds


Coming from the fix for FORGE-93, it is desirable to document the path specification for files and directories in both Linux (and Mac OS X), and Windows. In Linux, {{'/'}} is the only allowed separator, whereas in Windows, both {{'\'}} and {{'/'}} are allowed.

This obviously has an impact on the FSH script compatibility across these OSes. On the other hand, constraining the directory separator to {{'/'}} for Windows, to achieve commonality would probably work against usability as well as result in unusable paths in Windows.

Discuss.
