Dale King reopened MNG-3255:
----------------------------
Reopening because I think a simple comment on the guide page would be a wise
thing to do.
> Documentation for checking out and build should warn abour long path names on
> Windows
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-3255
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3255
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation: Guides
> Reporter: Dale King
> Fix For: Documentation Deficit
>
>
> I tried checking out the 2.1 maven code and build to see if a problem I was
> seeing with maven eclipse integration was localized to the that integration
> or was caused by the new maven embedder in 2.1 that they use.
> I was checking out into a directory on my desktop under windows. The checkout
> did not complete and had a message:
> svn: Can't open file
> 'maven-components\maven-core\src\test\resources\org\apache\
> maven\extension\test-extension-repo\org\apache\maven\core\test\test-lifecycle-an
> d-artifactHandler\1\.svn\tmp\text-base\test-lifecycle-and-artifactHandler-1.pom.
> md5.svn-base': The system cannot find the path specified.
> The problem is that while windows allows filenames up to 256 characters the
> maximum path length it allows is 260 characters. When you add that path to
> the path to the desktop directory it was too long.
> I was able to check it out to the root directory without problem.
> The guide to building maven should probably mention that for Windows users in
> the part about checking out the source.
