Importing many items, e.g. from https://arxiv.org/list/astro-ph/new, fails with the following error:

stderr output from native app org.jabref.jabref: Program 'java.exe' failed to run: The filename or extension is too longAt 
stderr output from native app org.jabref.jabref: D:\Programming\Projects\Jabref\build\libs\JabRef.ps1:42 char:15

Reason: Windows limits the command line length (to approx. 32.000 characters). Hence the limit is around 10 items.

Only solution (that I see): Write bibtex to file and then import the file instead of the string. Yeahhhhh!

Workaround: Open "Browser Console" and look for "JabFox: Send BibTeX to JabRef:". Click on the ellipse [...] to expand the string. Copy bibtex code and paste into JabRef.

Are we hitting the architecture discussion of providing a websocket interface? Refs #5943
