If you want to avoid this issue firstly check that your machine has latest Java version.

The bug Occur in the class path. The limit of command line of creating process is 32,767 characters. Classpath length is about 40,529 characters.

The plugin isused for such things like gradlevaadin plugin, application plugins.

Always take small path name of your Java program.

You can use long path tool to avoid this problem.

If your path name is accurate and short, then you will not face this issue.

That would depend on the file system you are using. Before, back in the DOS days, a single complete filename can only contain eleven characters (11): eight characters (8) for the name and three (3) for the extension name. The name of the file cannot go beyond the 8-character limit excluding the 3-character extension name.

But as time goes by, the operating system used by computers gets improved and long filenames have been finally supported. You are receiving that error not because of the number of characters in your filename but with the number of characters in the complete path. At present, the limit on the maximum number of characters that can be used falls on the path and not on the filename.

This applies to NTFS file system because FAT32, FAT16, and older file systems don’t support long filenames. In NTFS file system, you can make your filename as long as you want provided it doesn’t go over the 260-character maximum path limit. This means the complete path of the file must not exceed 260 characters or it will trigger an error.
