We have waited way too long and I think we really need to find a solution even if none of the committers use Windows since a long time. Every time a Windows dev even think of contributing he is very quickly discouraged...
As a reminder the issue is that working on XWiki source code is a pain for MS Windows developers because of the (impossible to understand I agree) limitation on path size.
So the idea is to find a new logical rule to drastically shorten our paths and Sergiu proposed the following: remove duplicated information from our paths to maven modules.
Here is an example:
xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-rendering/xwiki-platform-rendering-transformations/xwiki-platform-rendering-transformation-macro (131 chars)
would become
core/rendering/transformations/macro (36 chars)
So WDYT ?
Here is my +1
I also find it nicer when navigating using cd and tab in a unix shell anyway.
Planning to do it in 5.1 if everyone agree.
