CreateProcess error=206 when building

Hello everyone , I am trying to use dl4j in my java project .

Unfortunatly when i try to add it to my gradle as shown in this link

My Build won’t work with this error:

A problem occurred starting process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17\bin\java.exe''
> Could not start 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17\bin\java.exe'
  > Cannot run program "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17\bin\java.exe" (in directory "E:\minecraft_mod\build\reobfJar"): CreateProcess error=206,The filename or extension is too long
    > CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long

I litteraly just spent 4 hours searching for solutions but none of them would work.

The command size limitation made by windows is creating this error , there is a workaround in intelliJ , name “Shorten command lines” but it is only for application lauching.

I found this solution for gradle but it also doesn’t work.

Most of the solution that i found were used for spring application using gradle so i am afraid it need more configuration for forge or it just won’t work.

Here is my build.gradle

What is the full --stacktrace? Can you share a build --scan?

@Vampire Did you watch it a didn’t see anything releveant ?

I cannot look in detail as I don’t have a computer around the next two weeks. But it seems to be when trying to execute the reobfJar task. So maybe you can do something specific to that task to mitigate the problem. Besides that, it might make sense to ask the MinecraftForge maintainers, I think the task should be coming from them.
