Windows wont let you create a file with "." as the initial character,
that's why I'm trying to force it in the command line.
Is there any other alternative in windows?
Cheers!

I tried to increase the mvn heap sz by adding to the command
-DMAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m. It does not seem to work, any suggestions?

We've been struggling with build problems on windows for some time
now and things just keep on getting worse.
I'm composing this note to summarize the problems that I'm aware of
with work-arounds and possible solutions. I'm also fishing to see
if anybody else has some ideas on how to resolve these issues.
1) Windows pathlength problem.
Problem:
There are miscellaneous failures that can typically be tracked down
to the windows pathlength problem. The nature of our repository
structure and deployment make this a big problem. It also seems
like we're continuing to add more intermediate elements in path names
as we try to get things more organized and conform to Maven 2
conventions.
Work-around:
The work-around is to keep the windows root path as small as
possible. I now typically build from a root path of c:\g to avoid
these problems.
Possible Solution:
For a longer term solution I'm planning to work on a new repository
implementation in 1.2 that that isn't as redundant or verbose.
2) JSP compilation errors
Problem:
Embedded error: Unable to compile class for JSP
Strange error message about JAVA_HOME, etc...
Possible Solution/Work-around:
Update the pom.xml in the root directory to use version
1.4.5-SNAPSHOT (from 1.4.4) for the jspc-maven-plugin. Not sure if
Jeff Genender is planning to make 1.4.5 an official release for
this. We're not sure why it gets us around the problem so it may be
a red herring.
3) Openejb2 test failures.
Problem:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException:
org.openejb.deployment.DeploymentTestSuite.getName()
Work-around:
After bootstrap failure cd to <root>\target\external\openejb2
"mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true"
cd back to <root>
"mvn clean install"
Possible solution:
Dain suggested adding the "getName" method to the test. However,
when I attempted this I hit other errors.

I think it would be helpful if we could disable the openejb tests
until this problem is resolved.
4) Blue screen of death (bsod)
Problem:
This has been reported by multiple users on various machines. When
running an M1 or M2 build the user encounters a bsod due to a memory
failure.
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
*** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xBADDB148, 0x00000000, 0x8056C77B, 0x00000000)
Dump of physical memory
Work-around/Possible Solution:
Haven't found one yet. I've tried updated drivers, replaced
hardware, tried various heap size settings, etc.... At times this
can be fairly frequent (every 3rd build attempt or so). I'm
collecting bootstrap.log files from folks when this happens during a
bootstrap to see if there is a common thread. So far, with the
bootstrap logs, it always seems to happen at about the same place:
Running tests after building a module (usually tomcat.ApplicationTest
or TomcatModuleBuilderTest) and the final lines in the log are always
the Creation of an MBeanServer like this:
[exec] Running org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.ApplicationTest
[exec] Created MBeanServer with ID: 5dcec6:10d5a184aed:-8000:jbohn2:1
Please respond to this note if you are seeing the bsod failures on
windows. At first I thought this was just me and was hardware
related. However, the more I talk to folks on windows the more I
hear of other folks encountering this same problem. I've updated all
drivers, replaced my entire system, and several other folks have
reported seeing this on completely different systems. I think that
pretty much rules out a hardware problem.
ideas welcome!
Joe
