Description Vladimir Kvashin 2015-06-24 11:41:39 UTC 
File path separator ("\" on Windows and "/" in non-Windows world) is in fact file-system dependent.

When on Windows, File.separator is "\", while in many file systems (jar, system, remote) it's natural to use "/".

In the case of remote file system it leads to usability issues like issue 248653.

So I propose to create an API that allows to get this file-system depended separator
Comment 1 Vladimir Kvashin 2015-06-24 11:43:20 UTC 
I would propose to use attributes, like we did with line separators a while ago.
