Cannot run program CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long

I get the titled error when I use jvmarguments in the pom file. I'm using mvnw command with the below plugin to enable debugging. If I remove the jvm argument, it works. But I want to enable remote debugging with the mvnw command

Code Snippet:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <goals>
                    <goal>repackage</goal>
                </goals>
            </execution>
        </executions>
        <configuration>
            <mainClass>${start-class}</mainClass>
            <executable>true</executable>
            <fork>true</fork>
            <jvmArguments>-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005</jvmArguments> 
        </configuration>
</plugin>

Error:

Based on the answer from Developer404, instead of moving the .m2 repository, just mount it to a drive. That way the command line will be shorter and it will likely fit within limits. (Not an ideal solution, but it works with Spring Boot 3)

subst M: C:\Users\Javier\.m2\repository
mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=M:\ spring-boot:run

This is caused by a Windows OS limitation. To solve it:

  1. Move .m2 repository to c:\
  2. Open settings.xml from %MAVEN_HOME%/conf and look for \<settings>.\<localRepository>(uncomment it if its commented out already) and change its value to c:/.m2/repository
  3. Save the file and run the build again

For me I had the similar exception, below change solved the issue

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <fork>false</fork>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

If you are using IntelliJ Idea platform just change the launch configuration to avoid using the default shorten line

enter image description here

This worked for me.
