Reviving http://markmail.org/message/hlnqke3igkbec332 for as an official vote.

We have waited way too long and I think we really need to find a
solution even if none of the committers use Windows since a long time.
Every time a Windows dev even think of contributing he is very quickly
discouraged...

As a reminder the issue is that working on XWiki source code is a pain
for MS Windows developers because of the (impossible to understand I
agree) limitation on path size.

So the idea is to find a new logical rule to drastically shorten our
paths and Sergiu proposed the following: remove duplicated information
from our paths to maven modules.

Here is an example:

xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-rendering/xwiki-platform-rendering-transformations/xwiki-platform-rendering-transformation-macro
(131 chars)

would become

core/rendering/transformations/macro (36 chars)

So WDYT ?

Here is my +1

I also find it nicer when navigating using cd and tab in a unix shell anyway.

Planning to do it in 5.1 if everyone agree.
