The simple project creation fails if the users specify long names for the
project name. There is no error message or limit for the number of
charcaters
allowed for the project name field as the user types long project names.
I have tried this on Eclipse 2.1.3 and Eclipse 3.0 and saw the same
behaviour.
Specifying a project name of around 256 charcaters, puts up a creation
problems
error dialog, with message "could not create folder".
Specifying a project name of around 200 charcaters, puts up an error
dialog,
with message "could not write metadata".
Specifying a project name of around 160 charcaters, puts up an error
dialog,
with message "could not write metadata".
I was wondering whether this is a documented restriction some place and/or
other people have encountered this particular issue before. Please let me
know. Your input will be helpful. Thanks.

Hi,
Windows 2000/XP itself has the limitation of 256 characters for absolute paths.
So blame Microsoft
