I support this wholeheartedly... I know having Windows on your desktop
might be a slap-in-the-face for some, but the reality is many of us work
in a hybrid environment.
I once posted a message asking for small adjustments to the build.xml
file that would make ANT build script usable under regular Windows shell
-- tarballs and such. I will be pleased to work on this if you want to;
takes a few minutes in fact.
Doug -- is there any strong rationale of having CygWin as the
development shell for Windows?

Hi there,
JIRA seems to be offline, so here:
My CygWin installation reports an error when running a repeated 'ant
jar' -- symlink fails with:
jar:
[symlink] ln -s ./build/nutch-0.7-dev.jar
D:\nutch\nutch\trunk/nutch.jar
[symlink] ln: `D:\\nutch\\nutch\\trunk/nutch.jar': File exists
A quick and dirty hack is to attempt to delete the link:
$ svn diff build.xml
Index: build.xml

Is anyone having the same issue?

Same here. I don't think using symlinks on Windows is a good idea. I
think this should be replaced by a copy.
