"<type>APP_IMAGE</type>" Creates path with over 3200 Chars Length and Crashes the Build

[ingomohr]

Scenario

GIVEN I am on Windows 10 with Java 21 and Wix3 installed GIVEN I want to use --type app-image in the jpackage call, so that I don't get an installer but the app folder instead WHEN I use <type>APP_IMAGE</type> in my plugin configuration WHEN I call mvn clean package and then mvn jpackage:jpackage THEN the build (after 1 minute or so) aborts with error message

• Exit code: 1 - java.io.IOException: Cannot access file with path exceeding 32000 characters

AND

• I now have a folder of C:\Users\myUserName\git\hello-jpackage\target\jpackage\hello-jpackage\app\jpackage\hello-jpackage\app\jpackage...
• Which apparently recursively contains the jpackage folder in its own app folder
• Which I can only remove again via something like 7-Zip File-Manager

My Configuration in pom.xml

    </configuration>
</plugin>

I also tried this w/ <destination>${project.build.directory}/jpackage-build</destination> (in case folder "jpackage" is some magic folder in the implementation). Same effect.

Workaround

It works with <destination>jpackage-build</destination> - i.e. apparently as long I don't use something inside the target folder, the build successfully finishes, and I can run that build.

Problem is that mvn clean won't delete that destination folder because it's not in target.
