Why is the dir list comma-separated? The standard for *nix is to separate paths with a colon.
In environment variables, sure. Do you have an example of where this is done in a command line argument?
Hmmm. Off the top of my head I can remember one — java -cp argument.
Java is a really poor choice to argue with. Command line flags to Java look almost nothing like those in other *nix programs. At times, it even appears inconsistent with itself. For example: -Xmx10G -XX:+CycleTime -XX:AdaptiveSizePolicyWeight=50 These are most similar to "long options", but use a single dash which is the syntax used by "short options". The latter 2 also appear to use a ":" character to separate the flag name from its value, rather than the more commonly found "=" found in *nix flags. d
