No, Windows uses backslashes, not forward slashes, to separate directory names and file names. You could have written:
.\lol.jar but there's no need to add the [tt].\[\tt].
Windows: Backslashes \ to separate directory names and file names and semi-colons ; to separate path elements.
Linux, Mac OS X: Forward slashes / to separate directory names and file names and colons : to separate path elements.
