Why? Obviously, if it was a problem for them the issue would be a priority. Since Eclipse is free it doesn't create more revenue for the developers either. So what would the developers get in return for completely reworking their code? And whatever the response to that question is, the developers apparently feel that is just not enough incentive. > even if it is a limitation coming from Vista. The real funny thing is that using Unicode and NTFS Windows supports path names of up to 32k. That is way longer then on all those other operating systems where Eclipse can easily be extracted with the native tools :) > By telling everyone > tough crap...I'm not doing squat about it...it's a Vista issue and it is > MS's problem, not theirs...that is a piss poor attitude. Are you willing to fix the limitations of other peoples code for free? If you are, please go fix the code in Eclipse. If you are not, please don't ask of the Eclipse developers to do what you are unwilling to do yourself.
