I guess you are the windows user, there is a file path limit of 8191 in Windows XP and above.

The simplest way this shorten the file path, like change the project folder into D:\, and refact your project path, and always use ASCII chars for the folder name. UTF-8 chars use 2-3 bytes. or move useless dependency. or change to MAC platform. ;)

The reason is at the compile step, there is a command like javac xxxx, combine all dependences's path in one line.
