Since Java is platform independent, the same command line syntax that

In Windows it is \  and in Unix it's /  also the root folder in Unix
is / , where as in Windows its the drive letter C:\

Windows also works with forward slashes /. A path like

"c:/program files/saxon/saxon8"

on the commandline will work on all current windows systems and using paths like that will in all places where you need paths, you're making your application more platform-independent. Not sure if the Mac has this 'feature' though.

If you have code that contains paths, you must use the URI syntax (i.e. for doc(), unparsed-text() etc), which also has forward slashes for path separation.
