[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2671?page=comments#action_85274 ] Hannes Stauss commented on MNG-2671: ------------------------------------
It would be very important for us to fix this issue since we really forced to use flat structure. Any hints for fixing this are also highly appreciated. Tanks > Parent/modules relative file path compression > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2671 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2671 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Inheritance and Interpolation > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Environment: Windows XP > Reporter: Vincent Beretti > Priority: Minor > > Sometimes a problem appears in M2 with parent and module structure due to > the OS limitation in filepath length. > For example Windows file path can not exceed 255 characters. > But in complex maven 2 structure of parent/modules we can encounter a > problem with that. > In Eclipse, one has to put children projects in a flat structure. > Example : > in my filesystem my projects are : > C:/ > |------ parentProject/ > |------ childprojectA/ > |------ childProjectB/ > But in maven the structure is as following : > parentProject > |------ childProjectA > |------ childProjectB > So in childProjectX poms, I have to references parent project like this : > <relativePath>../parentProject</relativePath> and the same for modules in > parent as <modules><module>../parentProject</module></modules> > On a very complex structure, I have a path longer than 255 but in fact i > could be compressed to remove .. > for example when maven deletes target dir, it does like this : > delete C:/parentProject/../childProjectA/target > instead it could do > delete C:/childProjectA. > This would reduce the path length in very complex structures. > See the post at : > http://www.nabble.com/Parent-modules-File-path-compression-tf2628075s177.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
