It's also because from cygwin the path isn't C:\program files\... its /cygdrive/c/... An alternative fix is to symlink your jdk to /jdk and then reexport JAVA_HOME is your bashrc as follows: $ symlink -s /cygdrive/c/Priogram\ Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_19 /jdk
and then add the following to your ~/.bashrc export JAVA_HOME=/jdk That fixed it for me.
