Hi, As far as I understand HADOOP ( by following its scripts like start-all.sh etc .. a& my experience ) it does not care about the rest of the environmental variable as long as you provide right values in its environment file.
ie .. conf/hadoop-env.sh set some thing similar to get around your problem. # The java implementation to use. Required. export JAVA_HOME="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java/jre1.5.0_11" #/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun Regards, -Vikas.
