Heh, heh, good point Mark. I would guess that there is likely a RAD for Linux. I had WSAD V5.1 installed on FC1 for a while. Unfortunately WDSC still has some native Windows stuff that would make it not run on platforms other than Windows. As far as the install path, well, I will admit that I know little about WDSC install . It is probably the way it is in order to conform to Windows standards and the complex RAD install. As I understand it with RAD you can have multiple products installed (WDSC being one) and they share plugins and install tidbits somehow. One last thing. I specify that the WAS config stuff gets stored in my workspace, I think the default for V6 is in the install . Then just moving my workspace helps to resolve most path-length problems.

Just to be very clear this is a Windows path length limitation (256

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.
Yes, this is a Windows limitation, but lets also be a bit fair here in spreading the blame around. The problem is not just the workspace location. The error that was reported is actually located within the WebSphere runtime location (which we can only control by installing WDSC into a shorter path). The reality is that this problem also existed in the 5.x releases and IBM has still not done anything to help the problem. Such as installing into a much shorter default path structure, or allowing us to control where the WebSphere runtime is located. Since the problem surfaced in 5.x, I now override the install to go to C:\IBM\WDSC\6.0 and I also use a C:\workspaces for all my workspaces. As it currently stands, the default path that IBM installs into almost guarantees you will run into this problem if you do not override something. Since IBM cannot fix Windows, it ought to use a much shorter default path, and even better would be to let me install WDSC on Ubuntu or OSX. Mark
