Thanks. We try to build on Windows because eclipse community or developer maybe need to be able to build on windows.
During PDE build process from Git, it generate 2 git clone repo cache:
1. Under BuildDirectory\scmCache
2. Under org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_xxx\scripts\scmCache
According to Andrew Niefer's blog, set the "fetchCacheLocation" can only change the first cache location. Actually the second location path is longer.
Thanks.
Yong Jiang.

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

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.
