My guess is that you need to switch to java 11

I thought that Erel was fixing this in version 10.0 - perhaps not!

Compiling Error - The filename or extension is too long

Now I have the error "The filename or extension is too long" when i compile the project. If i remove one or two modules from the project, I don´t have this error. There is some limit for the project size ? B4A Version: 9.80 Java Version: 8 Parsing code. (2.75s) Building folders structure...

I don't think that would help.

There is a fix for large projects. Maybe the threshold set is too high.

Open Objects\src. How many files do you see there?

If you like, send me the complete project and I'll test it here.

As I recommended before, it sounds like you should split it into several "subprojects" and compile them as libraries. It will make things easier to maintain and compilation will be faster.

Do you any guildeline/tutorial, because I have no Idea how to split it into several "subprojects" and compile them as libraries.

Hope is not because you have your project folder inside other subfolders that makes its filename extension longer? Try to copy your main project folder directly into C: drive, run and recompile your project from there to shorten filename extension

You need to find a set of classes that don't depend on any other module, and move them to a new project. You can then compile them with Project - Compile As Library. It will create a jar and xml file that you need to put in the libraries folder and reference from the main project.
