Java Question Filename or extension too long

While compiling a library with SLC i get this error

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The filename or extension is too long


how can I avoid this?

Thanks in advance

Can you post the full error message? Where is the project located?

I am attaching the error
project is located right in the root c:/xmpp

I am trying to make a wrapper for asmack library

Not sure why this happens. I guess that you do not see this error when compiling code with B4A, right?

Try to move the folder and see whether it changes anything.

well I couldnt get to the B4A part yet, still need to compile this so I can have the jar/xml

as far as I found on web, this might be caused by a long command trying to be executed from cmd.exe
I dont know how exactly SLC works but if it is executing javac.exe from cmd this might be the reason since the asmack library has over 500 individual java files and that might create a long command which is over the cmd limit of 8191 characters (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473)

if you want you can try it for yourself

This is probably the reason. You do not need to compile the whole asmack library. You should instead include it as a Jar in the libs folder and use @DependsOn annotation to reference it in your project.
