I go on compiling XWiki under windows until I get back my beloved linux
platform :)... Finally, it appears not to be so trivial... Last week, I
found 2 minor issues but this last one is a blocking one.
When you build wysiwyg under windows, the gwt-maven plugin generates a
script "compile.cmd" in order to compile GWT code.
But, when it launches the script, you get an error "Line too long"...
And this is true, due to the huge number of dependencies with long
directories, the Classpath variables are too long for Windows... I love
Windows :):):)
Apparently, this is a well known bug of gwt-maven but seems not easy to
solve or not enough important to be solved :)
Anyway, until this bug is solved or if somebody finds a clever workaround
solution, it will remain impossible to compile wysiwyg under windows.
This is disturbing because, if you don't compile WYSIWYG, you can compile XE
without any problem but when you launch the server, you get a weird error
such as "Can't find class file RemoteService" and the jetty server
don't
bind to classic port 8080.
So the only solution I found is to remove "wysiwyg" module from profile
"xe"
in xwiki-web.
