> Allow short directory names for installed geronimo servers

>
> Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-232
> URL:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-232
> Project: Geronimo-Devtools
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.0.2, 2.0.x, 2.1.0, 2.1.x
> Reporter: Ted Kirby
> Assignee: Tim McConnell
>
> Recent user and dev list issues reminded me that on windows, GERONIMO_HOME,
> the server installation directory, should have as small a name as possible,
> like C:\g, to avoid issues on windows with too long path names.
> I think we should allow the eclipse plugin user to install a server in such a
> named directory. Currently, on the "Download and Install" screen, the user
> specifies a directory, but the server is actually installed in a
> geronimo-tomcat6-jee5-2.0.1 or geronimo-jetty6-jee5-2.0.1subdirectory of that
> server. I think we should look at using the directory specified as the
> installation directory directly, and eliminate this subdirectory. This may
> well be related to the server packaging itself. It seems the server zip file
> is packaged starting with the geronimo-{jetty,tomcat}6-jee5-2.0.1 parent
> directory itself.
> The manual workaround would be to extract the geronimo.zip file to your root,
> rename the directory to g, and point to that directory when defining the
> installable runtime. It would be nice to have this done automatically with
> one click, or not require the "extra" steps.
