Dawid Weiss commented on NUTCH-82: ---------------------------------- I personally disagree Perl is a better alternative to Cygwin... Most people familiar with Unix/ Windows development will have no problems modifying a bash script, whereas a Perl script... hmm.. Perl is perl :) As for a pure Java solution, I agree this would be handy. However, Java is quite a pain to invoke, especially with multiple JVM switches such as -Xmx... So you'd probably have to fall back to a 'boot' script anyway at some point. The only pure Java thing that comes to my mind is using ANT to spawn a JVM and then write commons-cli equivalents of command line tools... but this, as much as I hate to have platform-dependent scripts, seems like an overkill compared to the bash solution. > Nutch Commands should run on Windows without external tools > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NUTCH-82 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-82 > Project: Nutch > Type: New Feature > Environment: Windows 2000 > Reporter: AJ Banck > Attachments: nutch.bat, nutch.bat, nutch.pl > > Currently there is only a shellscript to run the Nutch commands.
