> Recent user and dev list issues reminded me that on windows, GERONIMO_HOME, the server installation directory, should have as small a name as possible, like C:\g, to avoid issues on windows with too long path names.
> I think we should allow the eclipse plugin user to install a server in such a named directory.  Currently, on the "Download and Install" screen, the user specifies a directory, but the server is actually installed in a geronimo-tomcat6-jee5-2.0.1 or geronimo-jetty6-jee5-2.0.1subdirectory of that server.  I think we should look at using the directory specified as the installation directory directly, and eliminate this subdirectory.  This may well be related to the server packaging itself.  It seems the server zip file is packaged starting with the geronimo-{jetty,tomcat}6-jee5-2.0.1 parent directory itself.
> The manual workaround would be to extract the geronimo.zip file to your root, rename the directory to g, and point to that directory when defining the installable runtime.  It would be nice to have this done automatically with one click, or not require the "extra" steps.
