This is a Windows issue since Windows cannot reference file paths
longer than 260 characters. If this works under JDK 1.5, it is because
JDK 1.5 is using a somewhat different way to handle file names (using
the NTFS library calls instead of the Windows library calls). I can
see a few ways of handling this:
1). Use a <condition> task to set a property depending upon the value
of ${java.version}. I don't think there's an 'atleast' condition, so
you'll have to make do with "contains". Once you manage to set this
condition, use a <fails> task if this condition isn't set.
2). Reconstruct your build to avoid extra long path names. This can be
done through the DOS Subst command which takes a path name and assigns
a drive letter to it, renaming paths, or using the short DOS name of
the path (which limits the each part of the path to just 8
characters).
3). you can look at the AntContrib tasks <for> and <foreach> and use
these to iterate over your path to see if it finds something longer
than 260 characters.
