Description

Name: rlT66838			Date: 06/04/99


java.File.getAbsolutePath() does not return a File.separator, i.e '/' or '\' on JDK2 (for Windows). 

java.File.getAbsolutePath() returns a File.separator in the end of the string in JDK 1.1.7B (for solaris)

EVALUATION Will not fix. This incompatibility is a consequence of the general rewrite of java.io.File that was done in 1.2, and was documented on the 1.2 compatibility page at the time 1.2 was released. -- mr@eng 1999/6/4
