Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-584:
--------------------------------------

I don't see this as a bug. If you have cygwin installed it should run fine. 

And cygwin is explicitly required in the documentation:

=====================================
Requirements

   1. Java 1.4.x, preferably from Sun Set JAVA_HOME to the root of your Java installation.
   2. ssh must be installed and sshd must be running to use Hadoop's scripts to manage remote Hadoop daemons. On Ubuntu, this may done with
      sudo apt-get install ssh
   3. rsync must be installed to use Hadoop's scripts to manage remote Hadoop installations. On Ubuntu, this may done with
      sudo apt-get install rsync.
   4. On Win32, cygwin, for shell support. To use Subversion on Win32, select the subversion package when you install, in the "Devel" category. Distributed operation has not been well tested on Win32, so this should primarily be considered a development platform at this point, not a production platform.
=====================================

This should be updated to say that Java 1.5 is required.

The new saveVersion.sh script should probably detect and handle internally if svn is not installed/found. Although it is hard to imagine a case where I wanted to build Hadoop and not have svn installed.

> This is introduced by HADOOP-567.
> The problem is that now I cannot even build hadoop in Eclipse under Windows unless I run it under Cygwin. 
> This is in a way the same as calling make in build.xml, which was recently fixed HADOOP-537.
> I think we should not introducing more dependencies on Cygwin just in order to show something in Web UI.
> I also don't remember we claimed that Cygwin or anything else except for Ant is required for Hadoop builds. 
> Is there another way of solving this?
> build.xml defines "version" property, Ant has "user.name" property. URL is not changing very often.
> Or may be the web ui should obtain these properties in run-time.
> Or may be the Packaging is a better solution, as you guys discussed.
