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

Question

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:

Answer 1

change

<fork>true</fork>

to

<fork>false</fork>

Answer 2

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

This worked for me.
