When you add multiple databases (slave), there is a convention of using colon ":" in database configuration file names. But while working on windows operating system, it seems impossible to create a file name having colon in its name.
For example:
In cfg directory, db.properties is fine. But following file names are problematic as these cannot be created.
slave1:db.properties
slave2:db.properties

If there is a workaround, please assist. And if it's really an issue, would appreciate to provide its support.
