I am using maven-compiler-plugin version 3.0. We use fork=true. We are seeing (I am pretty certain; haven't sorted through the boatloads of -X output yet) that the classpath being supplied to the maven-compiler-plugin is too long for Windows. (We're getting some weird errors out of the underlying compiler, then when we shorten the root path where we have the project the errors go away.)
I didn't see any way to have Maven supply the classpath to the maven-compiler-plugin as a file, or any other way to bypass the Windows path length limitation. Is this a known issue? I also didn't see it when I did a "classpath" search in Jira under the MCOMPILER project, but there were lots of entries so I might have missed it. Thanks, Best, Laird -- http://about.me/lairdnelson
