Execution of gradle bootRun fails - gradle

Question

I'm trying to run my springboot app... It all started when i added the eureka spring-cloud plugin to my gradle.build file:
compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-eureka'
And when i run "gradle bootRun", i get this error:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91\bin\java.exe". CreateProcess error=206, File name too long.
My build.gradle is:
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = '1.3.2.RELEASE'
elasticSearchVersion = '2.2.0'
groovyVersion = '2.4.5'

}
}
springBoot {
executable = true
}
I take the plugin out and it executes correctly.
I know it should be a Windows problem long paths, but how can i give a solution?

tim_yates was right, thanks!
i grab the code from the link and paste it into the end of my build.gradle file, it worked like a gem!
The code i added is:
task pathingJar(type: Jar) {
dependsOn configurations.runtime
appendix = 'pathing'
doFirst {
manifest {
attributes "Class-Path": configurations.runtime.files.collect {
it.toURL().toString().replaceFirst('/file:/+/', '/')
}.join(' ')
}
}
}
bootRun {
dependsOn pathingJar
doFirst {
classpath = files("$buildDir/classes/main", "$buildDir/resources/main", pathingJar.archivePath)
}
}
Note: i added some simple quotes (') from the linkcode to get it worked though..
