[hibernate-dev] Hibernate Development Environment

Hi Everyone, I have downloaded the hibernate 3.6 code from git. I had few problem which i have corrected problem as I am using windows environment. Environment: Windows Vista, 64bit, Eclipse Galieo. The problem which i faced was gradle script hibernate-distribution project failing when ${project.basedir} replaced with actual as windows placing path with "\" than "/". So while running throws exception invalid character. To fix that problem i modified the file with original path than ${project.basedir}. Do I to use only Linux environment to work on development activity? Please help me. Thanks Thamayanthi
