> With .gitattributes we can force all java files etc to have linux file endings.
> I am experimenting with this in the optaplanner repository:
> https://github.com/droolsjbpm/optaplanner/commit/40dca629262568d5e5abb379655d0ea65aef19a6
> If it works well, we'll want to compile a good overall .gitattributes file and commit it to all droolsjbpm repositories.
> During the refactor to .gitattributes, execute this script to detect and fix all previous errors:
