What you see in the headline is the folder name of the Series60 MIDP SDK installation from Nokia. Not that you get it wrong, you cant define it differently, you can only define the tree before this folder. This folder name would not irritate me, if this would be a simple Windows program, where you only double click on some symlinks, but hey, this is a SDK and within it, there is stuff like emulators.

What this mean? I, among thousand other developers, am using ANT when building java apps. Do you know what a pain it is to type the complete path into the build.xml file? Ok, here is my path, you should get an idea of the typing hell.

<property name="series60" value="C:\development\java\mobile\nokia\Series_60_MIDP_SDK_for_Symbian_OS_v_1_2_1\bin"/>

Is there somewhere a rule of thumb that you have to fully express the kind of software in the installation path? How about the following path for OpenOffice:
