I am not XWiki developer and hardly ever would be. Even if i have my favorite
mysfeatures.
Also here are script-making and script-using guys. So i don't think this
question would be complete off-topic.

===

It seems that XWiki was never tested on Windows as none of developers had
it.
It seems that XWiki GitHub just cannot be cloned to Windows now. 

And i don't know if can be compiled there (hopefully JVM can overcome it,
but who knows)

But what i noticed again, is that hugely redundant file naming

xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-classloader/xwiki-platfor
m-classloader-protocols/xwiki-platform-classloader-protocol-attachmentjar/src/te
st/java/org/xwiki/classloader/internal/protocol/attachmentjar/AttachmentURLStrea
mHandlerTest.java

Why that repeating time and gain, like if you use flat filesystem rather
than tree ?

It looks like calling an object
org.org-xwiki.org-xwiki-classloader.org-xwiki-classloader-internal.org-xwiki-classloader-internal-protocol.org-xwiki-classloader-internal-protocol-attachmentjar.org-xwiki-classloader-internal-protocol-attachmentjar-AttachmentURLStreamHandlerTest

Nonsense ? Truly so.
Yet on file system level Java developers usually do it, not only XWiki but
many teams.
Why ? Aren't directories given to suppress such redundancy ?

Not only that give overly long unobservable paths, it also disables some
programs on Windows.

I heard that git has internal 4KB file path length limitations.
I wonder what UNIX guys would say about sanity if one day they would try to
download from Windows file with name about 16KB long...
