Description

When Maven is started from command line (for example 'mvn clean compile'), the compile process fails, when compiling a large number of files or if working path name is long. Reason: "Under Windows XP, the command line is limited to 8190 characters." (googled)

example error:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: CMD.EXE /X /C javac -d D:\projects\wazap-core\target\main\classes -classpath "D:\projects\wazap-core\target\main\classes;E:\Documents and Settings\tsasaki\.m2\repository\objectweb\ow-monolog\2.1.1\ow-monolog-2.1.1.jar;E:\Documents and Settings\tsasaki\.m2\repository\concurrent\concurrent\1.3.4\concurrent-1.3.4.jar;E:\Documents and Settings\tsasaki\.m2\repository\struts\struts\1.1\struts-1.1.jar;E:\Documents and Settings\tsasaki\.m2\repository\aopalliance\aopalliance\1.0\aopalliance-1.0.jar;E:\Documents and Settings\tsasaki\.m2\repository\javax\jsp\jsp\2.0\jsp-2.0.jar;E:\Documents and Settings\tsasaki\.m2\repository\commons\commons-pool\1.2\commons-pool-1.2.jar;E:\Documents and Settings\tsasaki\.m2\repository\ant\ant\1.6.5\ant-1.6.5.jar;E:\Documents and Settings\tsasaki\.m2\repository\spring\spring\1.2.8\spring-1.2.8.jar;E:\Documents and Settings\tsasaki\.m2\repository\woodstox\woodstox\3.0.0\woodstox-3.0.0.jar;E:\Documents and Settings\tsasaki\.m2\repository\jp\co\eastbeam\eastbeam-web\1.0-SNAP?
