Help: Issue during ./mvnw build

I am interested in contributing to this project and getting into open source. I am trying to build the app according to the instructions in the README but my build is crashing. The console output is below, if anyone can help in any way it is greatly appreciated!!

Hey, thanks for reaching out.

We'll take a look, that seems like something we've previously encountered on windows. I'll let you know once I get a solution.

@myersdennis94 I was able to reproduce the issue, the command doesn't fail when executed alone but during a full maven build it does fail. I don't have a solution for now, but as a temporary solution I can recommend using WSL for Windows (https://aka.ms/wslstore). It does build fine on WSL-ish ubuntu.

I'll convert the discussion to an issue since it's a problem with an app.
