title: Make Java getAbsolutePath() return forward-slash on all machines
body: <p>On Windows, <code>File::getAbsolutePath()</code> will return backward-slashes in paths; on UNIX, forward-slashes.</p>
  
  <p>Since both versions are valid filenames on Windows machine, is it possible <strong>to force</strong> <code>File::getAbsolutePath()</code> (and associated functions) <strong>to always return the <em>forward-slash</em> version</strong> of a filename?</p>
