Build on Linux :-)

Actually, you can set the fetchCacheLocation
property to a short path on Windows to store the local git clone.  Andrew
Niefer described this approach in his blog

PDE Build issue from Git on windows        platform

Hi all,
We have a problem during PDE build from Git on windows platform.
During PDE build process from Git, it generate very long path automatically
(example: E:\BIRT\org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.7.0.v20110512-1320\scripts\scmCache\
git___git_eclipse_org_gitroot_birt_org_eclipse_birt_git\UI\org.eclipse.birt.report.debug.ui\src\org\eclipse\birt\report\debug\internal\ui\script\outline\node\DebugScriptedDesignVisitor.java).
It lead to build fail because path is too long (max path length is 260
on windows platform).
Any solutions/suggestions for this issue?


Thanks.
Yong Jiang.
