Windows path length limitation

Is there a way to configure Continuum to checkout project from Subversion using an absolute path instead of a relative path?  This would solve the path limitation issue on Windows.  I ran into the problem where the path was too long and was able to verify that if I checked out the project using an absolute path it worked fine.  Is this something I can configure on and end user system or does the project have to be recompiled to make this change?

Try to configure Build Output Directory and Working Directory to
c:\\bd and c:\\wd
Go to the configuration entry of the administration menu [1]

Thanks for the quick response.  That was my fall-back option, but I wasn't sure if there was just an easy way to configure it to use an absolute path.   Shortening the root path length should help, but its still possible to reach the limit.

I agree its a limitation of the file system; however, if Continuum would feed Subversion an absolute path (when running svn commands) as opposed to a relative path then their would not be a 256 character limit.  I tried this and it does work when I send Subversion an absolute path and it fails when I send it a relative path.  I found an article about it online here: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-02/1088.shtml.  This shouldn't be a hard change to make and would allow Windows users to not have to worry about running into this problem.

oh interesting...You should check and see if there is an issue on this under
maven SCM and if not open an issue there with this information

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM

I went ahead and logged an improvement to Maven SCM (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-368).  Hopefully they will fix this so Windows users won't have to experience this shortcoming.
