This is a known limitation of the windows svn client. It can be avoided using a simple workaround. See http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#long-paths
I'm currently not an active developer on the archiva project. Changing the directory structure may help for short. But in the long run, the problem may occur again. Especially if a developer uses a different folder structure on his personal machine (you already used a really short one with oss\maven-archiva). Perhaps giving a hint on the developer pages would be a good, longer lasting solution. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Rahul Thakur [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Dienstag, 22.
