The solution to get this to work was to add c:\cygwin\bin to my system path. I was under the impression that cygwin was optional. I don't run bash through emacs so I had no reason to add it to the system path.
Is cygwin required for Win2000/Emacs 20.7.1? JDE 2.2.7.1, 2.2.8beta4 and 2.2.8beta5 all do not compile or build until I add cygwin/bin to the path. Everything else seems to work OK.

Subject: Compilation exited abnormally with code 128
I just tried to install Emacs/JDE on my new Win2000 machine and I keep getting "Compilation exited abnormally with code 128". I though it was my jde options in my old .emacs file so I remove all of them, but I am still getting the error. If I cut and paste the compile command from the *compilation* buffer to a cmd window it works fine. Does anyone know what causes this error?
Win2000 SP2
Emacs 20.7.1
JDE 2.2.8beta4
JDK 1.3.1
eieio-0.16
elib-1.0

speedbar-0.14beta1
