`qx create` not working properly

[johnspackman]

I've noticed a few bugs with qx create on Windows

• the qooxdoo framework path is relative to the directory where you ran qx create and not relative to the new application directory; eg qx create foo detects my qooxdoo path as qooxdoo/framework but the compile.json should list the path as `../qooxdoo/framework'
• compile.json needs to have CRLF on Windows
• paths should use forward slashes or need to have backslashes escaped, eg the qooxdoo path of "qooxdoo\framework" doesnt work

Also it would be really useful if the locale was set to include the users locale, eg at the moment it is just [ "en" ] but it would be good if it was [ "en", "en_gb" ] or [ "en", "en_de" ] etc; this is because the CLDR database does not provide correct date formatting information unless the locale is specified in detail, for example "en_gb" short date format comes out as d/m/y but "en" is the US version of m/d/y.

As to the path issue, yes, that was a problem which I avoided by using absolute paths, which is not a solution. I thought @hkollmann 's fixed that in his commits? Is that a Windows-only problem (probably not).

I dont think it is Windows specific, just that I came across this when testing on my Windows VM.

The problem is that the path needs to be relative to the application directory, not the current directory when creating the application (the current directory is the parent of the application directory)

I have a patch - can be commited if the template branch is merged

This issue was moved to qooxdoo/qooxdoo-compiler#81
