<p>In general the <code>&lt;exec&gt;</code> task will not understand paths such as /bin/sh for
the executable parameter. This is because the Java VM in which Ant is running is a
Windows executable and is not aware of Cygwin conventions.
<p>The <code>&lt;exec&gt;</code> task will not understand paths such as /bin/sh
for the executable parameter. This is because the Java VM in which Ant is
running is a standard Windows executable and is not aware of the Cygwin
environment (i.e., doesn't load <code>cygwin1.dll</code>). The only
work-around for this is to compile a JVM under Cygwin (at your own risk).
See for instance
<a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/build/README-builds.html#cygwin">
sun jdk 6 build instructions for cygwin</a>.
