Hey all,
I've got the string "c:\fred\class1.java"
Is there some kind of static method or any other way to ask Eclipse to give
me back the path for the current platform that I'm on?
For example, on Windows it would give me back "c:\fred\class1.java" and
Linux would give me back "c:/fred/class1.java".
Thanks for any help you can provide,
harpstein

Actually, I found the Path class which has a ctor that takes a raw string.
Then I just call toOSString and that seems to work for me.
Thanks,

I think that is not possible for a fundamental reason: When given a string
without further information the source system is unknown and thus the
convention for path separators is unknown.
A proper solution could use File.getName() and File.getParent() on the
source side to split up the complete path into a list of path components
(Strings) and then use File.File(File, String) to reconstruct it on the
target side.

This could easily be achieved by aPathString.replaceAll( "[/\\\\]", "\\" +
File.separatorChar ) but be warned that this is not a portable solution at
all.
