Summary:
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for configuring Tomcat data sources, but the Windows section is notably more detailed, featuring extensive PowerShell scripting and Windows-specific file paths and tools. Windows configuration steps are more elaborate, with explicit use of PowerShell and Windows environment variables, while Linux instructions are more concise and rely on shell scripts. The order of presentation sometimes places Windows details before Linux equivalents, and the Windows approach uses Windows-native tools (PowerShell, .cmd files) without always offering Linux alternatives for similar automation or scripting.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Linux and Windows instructions are equally detailed, especially for advanced scenarios such as server-level configuration.
- Provide Linux shell script equivalents for all PowerShell automation shown in the Windows section, including robust examples for copying Tomcat, transforming XML, and managing marker files.
- Where possible, present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or side-by-side tabs to avoid the perception of Windows-first bias.
- Highlight cross-platform tools and approaches (e.g., use of Azure CLI, bash scripting) before platform-specific tools like PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention differences in file system layout and permissions between Linux and Windows, and offer guidance for both platforms in all advanced scenarios.
