I am using Win XP 64 bit The length of the path is 238 characters.
While the "normal" maximum path length [1] on Windows is 260 characters, the Unicode versions of the Win32 file management functions support file paths up to ~32,000 characters on all WinNT versions and Win9x versions with Microsoft Layer for Unicode. As far as I know and as far as I've tried on Windows XP with Sun's Java 5 (not sure for 1.4) it handles paths longer than 260 characters just with no problem.
