-------------------------------------
.getCanonicalPath() can see thru a symbolic link. We need to be careful on how
we use this information to not circumvent or undo symlinks that have been
created by the user and/or system admin.
> Parent/modules relative file path compression
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-2671
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2671
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Environment: Windows XP
> Reporter: Vincent Beretti
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: MNG-2671-maven-project.patch

> Sometimes a problem appears in M2 with parent and module structure due to
> the OS limitation in filepath length.
> For example Windows file path can not exceed 255 characters.
> But in complex maven 2 structure of parent/modules we can encounter a
> problem with that.
> In Eclipse, one has to put children projects in a flat structure.
> Example :
> in my filesystem my projects are :
> C:/
> |------ parentProject/
> |------ childprojectA/
> |------ childProjectB/
> But in maven the structure is as following :
> parentProject
> |------ childProjectA
> |------ childProjectB
> So in childProjectX poms, I have to references parent project like this :
> <relativePath>../parentProject</relativePath> and the same for modules in
> parent as <modules><module>../parentProject</module></modules>
> On a very complex structure, I have a path longer than 255 but in fact i
> could be compressed to remove ..
> for example when maven deletes target dir, it does like this :
> delete C:/parentProject/../childProjectA/target
> instead it could do
> delete C:/childProjectA.
> This would reduce the path length in very complex structures.
