To solve this issue, community plug in doesn’t helped me.

Is there any solution to fix this issue, due to this I can not able to build application. I’m using jdk 1.8 and gradle 4.4.1

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241\jre\bin\java.exe” CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long
at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1048)

With that version of Gradle you need to build a pathingJar. Here’s a link on how to do it https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5434482/how-can-i-create-a-pathing-jar-in-gradle

If you upgradle to 6.0 then the issue will be fixed for you https://docs.gradle.org/6.0/release-notes.html#usability-improvements

Use of the com.github.ManifestClasspath fixed the issue for me:
