The thing is that the java.home I get from ant already contains the
backslash.
My script looks like this:
<target name="createServerXml">
<replaceregexp file="${oc4j_home}/config/server.xml"
match="<java-compiler [^>]*/>"
replace="<java-compiler bindir="${java.home}/bin"
extdirs="${java.home}/jre/lib/ext"/>"/>
</target>
I need to change the backslash contained in the property (java.home) to
a frontslash, before writing to the file. When written to the file the
backslash has disappeared, and thus it is too late to replace it.
By using ${java.home} the idea is always to get the correct path to jdk,
on either OS; Windows or Linux.
Thanx
Thomas

Subject: RE: Escapign backslash in java.home
why don't you use forward-slashes instead backslashes?
It is the same for Java and it fits on Win & *nix systems; of course, it
won't work the same on any OS, since in Win you have this horrible
drives concept (C: D: etc)
i.e
(for Win)
java.home=C:/j2se1.4.2/bin
(for *nix)
java.home=/usr/local/java/1.4.2/bin
bottom line, you have to write properties for both OSes and pick them on
the fly by using something like <condition> [1] task. This kind of
operation has been discused in this list several times [2]
Hope this helps
