[SOLVED] IntelliJ [Jakarta EE Webservices plugin] Generate Java Code from XML schema using Jaxb produces a "error=206, The filename or extension is too long"

IntelliJ [Jakarta EE Webservices plugin] Generate Java Code from XML schema using Jaxb produces a "error=206, The filename or extension is too long"

When trying to generate jaxb classes from an xsd in IntelliJ via the menu Tools > XML Actions > Generate Java Code from XML schema using JAXB (provided by the plugin Jakarta EE Webservices (JAX-WS)), I get the following error message :

Cannot run program "C:\Java\tomcat9\jvm\oraclejdk-11.0.18.0.2\bin\java.exe": CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long

After some googling, I saw that a common proposed solution is to add in workspace.xml the property : dynamic.classpath = true

It didn't work (even after reopening the IDE) I also tried to add -Didea.dynamic.classpath=true (in Help -> Edit Custom VM Options ...) also to no avail.

My conclusion is that the plugin seems to ignore those configs and (hopefully) uses its own.

Is it the case ? If yes, how to configure this plugin ?

Finally, I also tried to copy my jvm directly in the C:/ folder, and to put my xsd also in C:/ and same error ...

Are there really no way to make this plugin work as intended ?

Solution

The problem seemed to be related to the name of my project directory. Something like C:\git\com.my.project.identifier .

Even if the xsd is put directly in C:\ with a very short name, it doesn't help, because the plugin maybe still execute its command with a path relative to the project folder.

Creating a new project in C:\git with a much shorter name (e.g. C\git\test) has solved the problem.

Thank you all for your contributions. still a pity to suffer from such a limitation though ...
