[jira] Commented: (NUTCH-187) Run Nutch on Windows without Cygwin

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-187?page=comments#action_12363991 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on NUTCH-187:
------------------------------------

Running outside of cygwin is not currently a priority.  To truly escape cygwin, all the scripts in bin/ would need to be replaced, ideally with portable Java, rather than maintaining two versions.  I would rather have a dependency on cygwin than have to maintain two versions of lots of stuff.  But mostly these are things which cannot be done from Java.  So we're left with cygwin.

> Currently you cannot start Nutch datanodes on Windows outside of a cygwin environment because it relies on the df command to read the free disk space.
