Do people think that the above workarounds are acceptable and it isn't
worth trying to shorten our file paths?
Hi,
Certainly, it's not worth its time, imho. As you wrote we can't do
much to work it out, and the only feasible solutions are just
Can we recommend a maximum path size for Windows when unpacking the zip
and/or installing from the installer? If so, it might be helpful for
windows users and avoid some unnecessary problems. We should be able to
come up with a general recommendation for the install location and
I'm not sure which scenarios are failing due to this JDK bug but
perhaps in some cases we could take advantage of the 8.3 version of
the filenames that are automatically generated on Windows referring to
the long filenames.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3
Again, not being sure which
Sounds reasonable to me... Though you left out the last contingency... Which is
to go get a Mac ;-)

Mapping the file name would reduce the length a bit, but i am wondering
if it is really worth the complexity for the small gain in reduction of
characters in the file path.
For users on JDK 1.5_06 (where the JDK bug is fixed), there are still
some related issues that I found after further
