File.split doesn't apply here, IMHO, because i do have "hard coded" path
parts (ie are attributes of an xml tag), the file separator is always
"/", doesn't depend upon platform.

then, i do right now :

pl = File.join(( context + path + "languages/bottles").split("/").select
{|x| x && x != ""})

and i'm sure Ruby is aware of File::SEPARATOR, no more need to read the
java one...which is the same.

tanxs for your help !
