I've managed to get this working to the point where jobs are dispatched, tasks executed, and results compiled.
However we still need to get the servlets to understand cygwin symlinks. I have no idea how to do this in Jetty.
These two links show how to allow Tomcat and jetty to follow symlinks, but I don't know if this works in cygwin.* http://www.lamoree.com/machblog/index.cfm?event=showEntry&entryId=A2F0ED76-A500-41A6-A1DFDE0D1996F925* Configure Symlinks for single directory in Tomcat
Otherwise we'll have to open up the jetty code and replace java.io.File with org.apache.hadoop.fs.LinkedFile.
