Description Wes Isberg

Configuration files (.lst files) have single-string entries for injars,
sourceroots, classpath, bootclasspath, etc. that require platform-specific
internal delimiters, which means the .lst files can't be reused across platforms.

I recommend updating the path parsers to accept both the local platform
delimiter or one of ';' or ',' as a delimiter for these paths.

This seems to be a non-issue at this point, since the VMs are happy with the
default
path separator.

Why is this invalid?  Does ':' or ';' work on all platforms?  The default varies
with platform.

It has been a non-issue since I reported it way back.  My sense was that ';' was
starting to be like '/' and working on all the VMs, but I'm not certain.  If
anyone on another platform encounters a problem we can reopen it.  But you're
right, it shouldn't be marked as invalid.

Resolving as LATER until there is user feedback that this needs fixing.

LATER/REMIND bugs are being automatically reopened as P5 because the LATER and REMIND resolutions are deprecated.
