Konstantin Boudnik commented on HADOOP-584:
-------------------------------------------
I'd say to hell with windows minority :)
> Calling shell scripts from build.xml discriminates Windows user minority.

> Key: HADOOP-584
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-584
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: scripts
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko
>
> 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.
