Description John Arthorne CLA 2012-12-07 14:53:08 EST 
It is no longer possible to clone the p2 repository on a windows machine. Even when cloned at c:\git, there is a path that is 264 characters in length that cannot be created:

c:\git\rt.equinox.p2\bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests.sharedinstall/testData/sharedPreferencesWithDataInUser/baseInstall/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/epp.package.java.profile/.data/.settings/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.prefs

This path needs to be made much shorter so the repository can be cloned.

These tests don't seem to compile for me. After fixing some dependency issues I can get them to run, but some are failing.

I'll assume these are a work in progress. I've shortened the directory names, and the testa that passed before still pass. I don't think I made anything worse.
