Re: [aspectj-dev] Creating a unique ajSandbox root directory

["Andy Clement" <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

My only suggested amendment might be just to use the workspace
directory name rather than the full path to it, just to keep names
under control, I have some very long paths to my workspaces.  So for
my:

f:\e32rc27\eclipse\workspaces\aspectjhead

it would be

c:\temp\aspectjhead\ajcSandboxXXXX

Just using that name would solve every case where I have seen this problem.
