Re: [p2-dev] Long pathnames in product (p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/...)
|
This file includes the values that p2 has encountered for the jvmargs
(e.g. memory settings). It is used to help figure out the value that
needs to stay in the eclipse.ini when an IU is uninstalled.
It may be possible to remove it in your specific case, but I would have
to see the file.
As for shortening the path, this is something that could be done in p2
itself, but not something that would happen overnight and would require
a lot of backward compatibility code.

[taking the discussion here from tycho-users]
Hi,
my product ZIP (built with Tycho) contains one very long pathname (145
characters)
p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/DefaultProfile.profile/.data/org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.actions/jvmargs
which causes problems when unpacking into directories which themselves
have rather long names on some operating systems (path names being
restricted to 255 characters).
Is there a way to either avoid the creation of this file (BTW, what is
it good for?) or to at least shave off a couple of characters of the path?
Best wishes,
Andreas
