Many configuration files do not contain the right CR+LF at the end of the text lines, causing them to not be easily editable in a Windows environment (Notepad) for developers.

    • Bug
    • Resolution: Done
    • Major
    • EAP_EWP 5.1.1 ER3
    • EAP 5.0.1
    • Build
    • None

    • On Linux and UNIX based systems everything is fine, but on Windows systems, which expect the CR+LF, the text configuration files do not display properly in an editor such as Notepad.

    • Hide

      Open a file such as, jboss-eap-5.0/jboss-as/server/default/conf/props/jmx-console-users.properties in Notepad on Windows, and you will get one line instead of two, and where the LF character is, it will display a box, instead of breaking the line and giving a newline.

    Description

      Currently, many of the text configuration files in the EAP distribution only have a LF (x0A) character at the end of lines. While this works fine on Linux and UNIX, it makes it so you cannot easily edit the files on Windows systems. Windows expects CR+LF (x0D x0A), and this also works on Linux and UNIX systems.

      If I run unix2dos on one of these files, it adds the CR+LF, where the LF is now, and it works in Notepad on Windows, and in Vi, Gedit, etc. on Linux and UNIX.
