Thiruvalluvan M. G. resolved AVRO-338.
--------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

The interaction between Java and Cygwin tools are too broken. For example, by 
default Java installation sets JAVA_HOME=c:\Program Files\Java\.... The space 
in JAVA_HOME causes trouble in shell scripts. Another example is that Cygwin's 
"find" needs Cygwin paths, but Java requires Windows paths, so the output of 
find cannot be passed to Java. One way to resolve the path problems is to use 
relative paths.

These require too many fixes.

>
> The target "test-tools" invokes a shell script using "exec" task. Since the 
> shell scripts cannot be invoked directly by the Windows, it is required to 
> have the "exec" task with executable="sh" and then pass the script name as an 
> argument.
> This patch does just that.
