OS Specific Notes
Being closely associated with the file system, the command-line Classpath syntax depends on the operating system. For example:
- on all Unix-like operating systems (such as Linux and Mac OS X), the directory structure has a Unix syntax, with separate file paths separated by a colon (":").
- on Windows, the directory structure has a Windows syntax, and each file path must be separated by a semicolon (";").
This does not apply when the Classpath is defined in manifest files, where each file path must be separated by a space (" "), regardless of the operating system.

Famous quotes containing the words specific and/or notes:
“No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.”

“If the heart of a man is deprest with cares,
The mist is dispell’d when a woman appears;
Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.”
