RE: Windows path length limitation
I went ahead and logged an improvement to Maven SCM (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-368). Hopefully they will fix this so Windows users won't have to experience this shortcoming.

Re: Windows path length limitation
oh interesting...You should check and see if there is an issue on this under maven SCM and if not open an issue there with this information http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM jesse On Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 11:15 AM, KURT TOMETICH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I agree its a limitation of the file system; however, if Continuum would > feed Subversion an absolute path (when running svn commands) as opposed to a > relative path then their would not be a 256 character limit.

RE: Windows path length limitation
I agree its a limitation of the file system; however, if Continuum would feed Subversion an absolute path (when running svn commands) as opposed to a relative path then their would not be a 256 character limit. I tried this and it does work when I send Subversion an absolute path and it fails when I send it a relative path. I found an article about it online here: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-02/1088.shtml. This shouldn't be a hard change to make and would allow Windows users to not have to worry about running into this problem.

Re: Windows path length limitation
its a limitation of the file system...not a lot we can do about it :( On Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 12:33 PM, KURT TOMETICH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks for the quick response.

RE: Windows path length limitation
Thanks for the quick response. That was my fall-back option, but I wasn't sure if there was just an easy way to configure it to use an absolute path. Shortening the root path length should help, but its still possible to reach the limit.
