Description Borislav Kapukaranov CLA 2011-01-18 08:43:43 EST 
When executing a full build + tests run several tests fail being unable to obtain  their resources. That happens because windows has a limitation on file paths. This can be fixed by reducing the resource names or as an alternative reduce the length of some of Virgo's folders. 
A *must* is at least to provide a meaningful suggestion of what the cause might be when the listFiles() fails.
Here is an example:
org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.deployer.core.DeploymentException: listFiles() failed for file C:\work\src\osgi\virgo.20110109\org.eclipse.virgo.kernel\org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.deployer.test\target\work\org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.deployer_2.2.0.BUILD-20110113194904\staging\global\par\ImportPromotionViaLibrary\1.0.0\ImportPromotionViaLibrary.par\

Added a section in the "Test" wiki page which helps windows users cope with the Windows FS limitations. I'm closing the enhancement.

Changing to WONTFIX as we didn't fix the problem, although we did document it better.
