Create another file with long file name. Result: Editor cannot find. 3. Now select both of the unfindable files. 4. Invoke Delete from the popup menu. Result: The VAJava IDE Disappears. NOTES: SA (5/7/2001 3:31:12 PM) This is related to the problem "1GD0JXR: ITPUI:WIN98 - Cannot open file with filename > about 220 chars" which Core is currently working on.
Ryan, Core team says they fixed this problem. Can you verify.
Is this an Eclipse problem or a VAJava problem? I don't think VAJava is installed on my machine.
The reference to VA Java is because at the time we were not self-hosting in Eclipse, but rather in VA Java (i.e VA Java running Eclipse, instead of Eclipse running Eclipse). Try the steps in Eclipse...ignore references to VA Java.
Currently in Eclipse (build 20020115), there is no problem caused by creating or deleting files with extremely long names. Eclipse for Windows shows an appropriate message box if the user tries to create a file with a name longer than allowed by Windows, but there is no abnormal behaviour by Eclipse.
