Guillaume Boué commented on SUREFIRE-1376:
------------------------------------------
[~tibor17]
You're right, it would also override the classpath in the manifest JAR, so this
won't really work... We'd have to build the full classpath to pass it on the
command-line, and this causes other issues when it is too long (command-line
rejected).
Now, I can only think of generating the JAR to another fixed location, like
{{java.io.tmpdir}} (where it is pretty much guaranteed no long path issues will
be hit) instead of the build directory, but this would go against the
{{tempDir}} configuration...
I had also found that JDK bug report, but I'm not sure it is the same since it
appears to affect JDK 8 also, whereas using {{java -jar
\\?\<...>.jar}} worked fine with 8u121. By the way, the error when
using JDK 7 with the {{\\?\}} prefix in {{java -jar}} is:
bq. Error: Unable to access jarfile \\?\\\C:\...
Two backslashes were apparently added just before the drive letter but I have
no idea why.

> {noformat}
> The problem is that the path to the JAR file exceeds the maximum path length
> of 260 characters, and so it cannot be accessed.
> Prepending the path to the JAR file with {{\\?\}}, [as documented
> on
> MSDN|https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247(VS.85).aspx#maxpath],
> makes the test run again correctly. I've attached a possible patch with this
> approach (SUREFIRE-1376-prefix.patch, that also handles UNC pathnames), but
> perhaps there is a better way to tackle this problem.
> In order to reproduce this, it is possible to create a project under lots of
> different subdirectories, something like:
> {noformat}
> └───surefire-longpath-test-with-windows
> └───surefire-longpath-test-with-windows
> └───surefire-longpath-test-with-windows
> └───surefire-longpath-test-with-windows
> └───surefire-longpath-test-with-windows
> │ pom.xml
> │
> └───src
> └───test
> └───java
> └───Test.java
> {noformat}
> As a side-note, this issue is behind the current Jenkins failures on
> [maven-plugins-ITs-m3.1.x-with-maven-plugin-jdk-1.8_windows|https://builds.apache.org/job/maven-plugins-ITs-m3.1.x-with-maven-plugin-jdk-1.8_windows/3702/]
> when running the ITs on the Assembly Plugin.
