I am unable to build xwiki-commons from the command line. First, I had to
skip tests, and then, after I tweaked my setup to get back to Java 6 (I
typically use Java 7), Maven debug output includes the text pasted below.
The empty "bad path element" of "" has me baffled, but I'm
ignoring that for
the moment. Meanwhile, can anyone explain the problem with
AetherExtensionRepository?

Hi Gary,
Are you building on Windows by any chance?

Vincent,
How did you guess that? <g> Yes, 64-bit Windows 7. I have a Ubuntu virtual
machine as well (I'm using a 16GB workstation, so anything is feasible). I
never finished configuring my Linux VM under VirtualBox, but I _have_ been
giving some serious thought to using it for all XWiki development. Reading
between the lines, do you feel I'd be happier under Linux? Frankly, I've
_never_ liked Windows in any form (in fact, I was sort of an evangelist for
OS/2 back in the day), but there are a few useful Windows tools I use that
may or not be happy under Wine, so I've been taking the path of least
resistance (you know, buying a new portable workstation that always comes
with Windows and Microsoft Office pre-installed :-). It wouldn't take much
to convince me to live in the Linux world.
Since you asked about Windows, and there is a message about a path element,
I'm guessing this whole mess has something to do with the presence of blanks
in Windows pathed directory names like "Program Files."
I don't have a world clock, but isn't it awfully late in Paris? Thanks for
your continued responses!

Almost everybody working on XWiki uses either Linux or MacOS, so we
rarely spot Windows problems...
The build used to work, and it should work, but it's hard to debug on a
different operating system.
I'd say that yes, you should try to do XWiki development in Linux.
Everything just works.
Since you asked about Windows, and there is a message
about a path element,
I'm guessing this whole mess has something to do with the presence of blanks
in Windows pathed directory names like "Program Files."

Yes, but tonight is party night, and people are going to be up pretty
late into the night/morning.

It's a problem of max path size on Windows.
What you can do is use cygwin and build from it, it should support long path names.
As Sergiu mentioned we know about this issue but we've been lazy and haven't fixed
it… Our bad…
Here's a thread about it for reference: http://markmail.org/thread/hlnqke3igkbec332
It would be good that we fix it (it's going to touch a lot of places though).

Vincent,
I'll go with the option of running in a Ubuntu virtual machine under
VirtualBox. I think that's cleaner than cygwin. Thanks for everyone's help.
I'll be back after I get the new environment set up.
