Thrift fails on Windows - thrift failed error: The command line is too long.

Meet a thrift compiling failure on my project on Windows 7. Using Maven in IntelliJ so I choiced maven-thrift-pluging for thrift files. For one project, the thrift failed as below:

<plugin>    <groupId>org.apache.thrift.tools</groupId>    <artifactId>maven-thrift-plugin</artifactId>    <configuration>        <thriftExecutable>${thrift.compiler}</thriftExecutable>        <generator>${thrift.generator}</generator>        <temporaryThriftFileDirectory>${project.build.directory}/td</temporaryThriftFileDirectory>    </configuration></plugin>
