Generator-jhipster: CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long - Maven and Windows

[lsadehaan]

Overview of the issue

The goal spring-boot:run fails due to classpath being too large in a jhUAA project with too many dependencies selected on Windows (using Maven).

Seems to be the same issue as #4323 except for Maven. For Gradle it was fixed with #4324.

Motivation for or Use Case

Generated microservice jhUAA application cannot be run on Windows.

Reproduce the error

Generate a microservice UAA application on Windows with preferences of following .yo-rc.json file

Related issues

Seems like #4323 is the same issue just for gradle

Suggest a Fix

Perhaps it can be fixed in the same way as #4323 was fixed (see #4324)

Just change the launch configuration to avoid using the default shorten line

I do not know if this could be take as a JHipster error or not.

It's a problem related to Windows.
So if you have a fix for Maven, you're welcome to PR. Otherwise, I'm not sure we can do something here.

I'm closing this. But don't hesitate to PR if you find the solution.
