Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-584:
--------------------------------------------

Yes, under cygwin it builds fine. But it does not if you build in a stand alone eclipse.
Which it did before the patch, and that is why I'm saying it imposes more depenecies.
I think it should not.

Here is a practical advice that solved the problem for me:
Include "C:\cygwin\bin" and "C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin" into the Path.
cygwin\bin contains sh.exe, and Subversion\bin has svn.exe, which are now
required to build hadoop.

> 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.
