Java preferences AbstractPreferences slash usage










0















Probably I'm missing some hidden design the Java developers put into this logic. I'm wondering why AbstractPreferences class uses slash as a
hard-coded delimiter of node name in its code. I would expect to have it to be a platform depended and have File.delemiter value.



How I came across this nuance? My code has a long node name when you separate it by a backslash, in Linux platform it works perfectly, since the hard code symbol splits it well, whereas in Windows it throws too long node name exception.



Is there any idea what is a recommended way to handle this stuff, and why it has to be hard-coded.



Thanks
