I've never run a build with Mingw or with Cygwin myself. We use msys Git for our Windows machines.
I would assume that Mingw and Cygwin should work if you create a batch file that performs the JNLP startup for you. Our batch file that performs JNLP startup on the slaves includes a call to the vcvarsall.bat script from Visual Studio, then sets JAVA_HOME for the JDK, adds Python and a few other tools to the path, and then calls javaws to launch the JNLP script. That has worked quite well for the several years we've been using that configuration on Windows with msys Git.
