>                 Key: DAFFODIL-1200
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1200
>             Project: Daffodil
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Diagnostics, Usability
>    Affects Versions: s15

> Giant long file paths like file:/home/mbeckerle/dataiti/git/daffodil/eclipse-projects/target/test/edu/illinois/ncsa/daffodil/section06/namespaces.tdml
> These clutter the error messages, and all but the section06/namespaces.tdml are noise. 
> Almost nothing can be viewed without scrolling the window/panel to the right so as to get past these giant paths. Or alternatively they wrap around line after line. 
> Any given path being displayed can have whatever the longest prefix of it that matches a location on the classpath, that longest prefix can be removed without _much_ loss of information content.
