Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201212240001) Java: 1.7.0_10; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.6-b04 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_10-b18 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_CA (nb) User directory: C:\Users\Gili\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\dev Cache directory: C:\Users\Gili\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\dev 1. I invoke: "Debug Test File" on a Maven Java project 2. Netbeans fails right away with "Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.10:test (default-cli) on project server.web: No tests were executed! (Set -DfailIfNoTests=false to ignore this error.) -> [Help 1]" 3. Upon further investigation I discovered that the command-line Netbeans is invoking is too long. The command-line in question is: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\jre\bin\java" -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=n,address=16156 -jar C:\Users\Gili\Documents\Vetailr\server\web\target\surefire\surefirebooter6838156833777824716.jar C:\Users\Gili\Documents\Vetailr\server\web\target\surefire\surefire2615021415264774198tmp C:\Users\Gili\Documents\Vetailr\server\web\target\surefire\surefire895040963097416376tmp" Normally I'd suggest using the @argfiles option mentioned here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javac.html but it doesn't look like the "java" application supports it: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html We need a general solution for "java"-based tasks. Any ideas? (And no, moving my project to a different location isn't really a solution)
The error message I was receiving was misleading. Windows reports "command-line is too long" if you omit a quote after java.exe. Sorry for the false alarm. As a side-note, the command-line limit under Windows is 8191 characters so I think we're safe for now :)
