[tycho-user] Tycho on Windows - Path Length Issues?

[James Gajnak <jgajnak@xxxxxxxxx>]

Apologies if this has been covered before - I couldn't find anything on the web or in the archives for this.

 

I'm trying to build an Eclipse product with M2E/Tycho using Windows 7, and I'm getting a strange error about missing dependencies, like:

-----

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not resolve plugin org.eclipse.core.net.linux.x86_64_1.1.0.I20110331-0827; Path to dependency:

If I take a look at the second file reference (the org.eclipse.platform one), it does exist on disk and I can open it with various tools. However, based on how scary long that directory and file name is, I'm wondering if I'm running into a path length limitation on Windows. I already moved my local repository to try and shave off some characters, but that didn't seem to help.

Has anyone else hit this kind of issue before? If so, did you have a workaround? I'm guessing moving the build to my Linux box is the next option.

Thanks,
