I got error while building Xamarin.Android project with Visual Studio Preview 15.5.0 Preview 1.0. This happened right after i updated my visual studio preview to the latest version. I have no code error.
The specified task executable "java.exe" could not be run. The filename or extension is too long
Visual studio window output:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Preview\Enterprise\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(2092,3): warning MSB6002: The command-line for the "CompileToDalvik" task is too long. Command-lines longer than 32000 characters are likely to fail. Try reducing the length of the command-line by breaking down the call to "CompileToDalvik" into multiple calls with fewer parameters per call.

Update: By the way I've modified csproj file to have output files in root folder of the drive. What I've done is; editing android project's csproj file like below but didn't help.
