I believe this is something's way of saying 'that command's far too long,
I'm not running that!'. Above the error you'll find an enormous command
displayed. cd in to the right directory (probably
/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/j2se/make/java/nio, but it'll be displayed
somewhere by gmake) and run this command by hand in your shell. Then go
back to the port and run 'make' again.
