Re: WebSphere Test Environment in 6.0

Just to be very clear this is a Windows path length limitation (256 chars 
I think).  Eclipse & WAS can handle long path names just fine on other 
platforms.

The work around is correct.  I create all my workspaces in  d:\workspaces. 
 Also you can make thinks like the project name,  Web context name, JSP 
names, etc  short as they contribute to the length.

Re: [WDSCI-L] WebSphere Test Environment in 6.0






We've run into this also.  The choices we found are to use shorter
project names, or reinstall WDSC in a different directory (e.g.,
c:\rationalsdp6 instead of c:\program files\ibm\rational\sdp\6.0).

The limit is imposed by the Windows API used by Eclipse.  There is
apparently work underway to move to using UNC paths, which allow for
more characters.
