Re: [pde-build-dev] Long file names on Windows.

If it's actually being generated you
are lucky! :) 
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=69620

Besides Eclipse/PDE build, I've heard
many "intermediate" programs are 
often the cause of path length limitations
(such as JRE level, the zip programs themselves, 
and even cygwin, if you are using that).


Many of those intermediate programs
with limits have been fixed if the 
most recent versions are used. (but,
sorry, I don't really know the details 
of version numbers, etc.) 

Hope this helps.

Subject	[pde-build-dev] Long file names on Windows.

Is this a known problem with a bug somewhere?

I am finding that long file names,
i.e I have a path like C:\projects\myproject, where my pde project is
in client-application\plugins\reverse\qualified\dns\package\JavaClass.java,
are built correctly and generate .class files
but when the pde build zips the files up anything long that a total of
255 characters gets truncated.

I will re-try this steup since Pascal mentioned using a directory
archive format instead of a zip, and see if the problem is with Ant
instead.

Just floating the question in case someone can give quick
links/solutions, as this is a pain to have to shorten the project
location since it is an easily forgotten step.
