*Cloning the git repository on Windows*

Some files in the git repository may exceed the Windows maximum file path (260 characters), depending on where you clone the repository. If you get `Filename too long` errors, set the `core.longPaths=true` git option:
```
git clone -c core.longPaths=true https://github.com/Microsoft/azure-spring-boot.git
cd azure-spring-boot
mvn clean install
```
