Re: Cannot build 1.1 on Windows - long file paths

[Matt Hogstrom]

So the file that is in Dave's example is 268 characters long.  Here are a couple of questions that 
perhaps the folks using Windows can answer.

1. What about long-name support in Windows.  I thought MS had some way to shorten names...probably a 
Long Shot...but thought I'd try.

2. Can we leave CARs JARed up?  I think this may be the only way to get past 
the problem.

3. The Maven jar naming convention is dramatically increasing the length of the file name.  The 
groupId and artifacts are repeated as is the version number.  For instance this takes up a lot of 
the realestate:

So this:
\geronimo\webconsole-tomcat\1.1-SNAPSHOT\webconsole-tomcat-1.1-SNAPSHOT.car\geronimo-console-standard-1.1-SNAPSHOT.war\WEB-INF\classes\org\apache\geronimo\console\securitymanager\realm\SecurityRealmPortlet$ExistingRealm.class

becomes:
\geronimo\10\WEB-INF\classes\org\apache\geronimo\console\securitymanager\realm\SecurityRealmPortlet$ExistingRealm.class

and we have an entrie like this in an index.properties:
10=webconsole-tomcat\1.1-SNAPSHOT\webconsole-tomcat-1.1-SNAPSHOT.car\geronimo-console-standard-1.1-SNAPSHOT.war\

This would save 109 characters in the path name.

No matter what this is going to be a bit ugly.

Thoughts?

I am having basically the same issue building directly on Windows. When 
the build gets to the izpack section it fails. I check the 
assemblies\j2ee-installer\target directory and it cascades recursively, 
in fact I am not able to delete that directory (yet).

Any subsequent build attempts will also fail since maven will fail to 
delete the target directory.

Cheers!

The "long file path" problem on the windows platform isn't limited  
to building G1.1 on this platform.  The current images are  
incompatible with windows even when the images are generated on a  
different platform..

Specifically, I built G1.1 on linux and then FTP'd the generated  
windows image (geronimo-tomcat-j2ee-1.1-SNAPSHOT.zip) to a windows  
machine..

The resulting image can't unzip on the windows platform due to the  
path length problem.. :(

e.g. C:\z\geronimo-1.1-SNAPSHOT\repository\geronimo\webconsole- 
tomcat\1.1-SNAPSHOT\webconsole-tomcat-1.1-SNAPSHOT.car\geronimo- 
console-standard-1.1-SNAPSHOT.war\WEB-INF\classes\org\apache 
\geronimo\console\securitymanager\realm\SecurityRealmPortlet 
$ExistingRealm.class

Guess this is obvious in hindsight, though was thinking it was  
strictly a build issue..

This absolutely needs to get fixed..

I had issues relating to long file paths when building 1.1 from  my 
C:\dev\asf\geronimo\branches\1.1 directory, so I tried  building 
from a shorter directory ( C:\geronimo1.1 ) and still  have issues 
(see below).

I haven't had a chance to look into this yet but I consider this  
to be a blocker.

Once we can build on windows we then need to test that Geronimo  
can be installed in common locations on windows (e.g. under C: 
\Program Files\Geronimo-1.1 ) without encountering file path  
length issues.

The following path (from the output below) is 317 bytes long:

C:\geronimo1.1\assemblies\j2ee-installer\target\geronimo-1.1- 
SNAPSHOT\repository\geronimo\daytrader-derby-jetty\1.1-SNAPSHOT 
\daytrader-derby-jetty-1.1-SNAPSHOT.car\daytrader-web-1.1- 
SNAPSHOT.war\META-INF\geronimo-generated\org\apache\geronimo\axis 
\client\GenericServiceEndpointWrapper$$EnhancerByCGLIB$ 
$2ae63e1d.class

See http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1790 for more  
info on the long file path issue.
