Subject: Config using File
Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2007 21:09:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45C8EE81.6010500@redhat.com> (raw)

FYI,

In Java the Right Way to handle anything involving a file or path is to 
create a File object and manipulate that.  For instance, instead of:
    Config.getBinDir () + "/" + "fstack"
the coder should write:
    new File (Config.getBinDir (), "fstack");
which will take care of all the "/" portability mess.

I've switched most of the Config directory paths to return File, instead 
of String.  Two, namely getGladeDir() and getImagesDir() were not 
switched.  They are passed onto Java-GNOME and that currently takes a 
String.  Partially converting them turned into a rats nest :-)
