title: Hadoop 2.6.0 build on Windows 8.1 fails - Ant BuildException
body: <p>Hello I'm trying to build hadoop 2.6.0 on Windows 8.1. Unfortunately without luck so far.</p>
  
  <p>I have installed:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>jdk1.7.0_71 (added Variable JAVA_HOME with value C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_71 to the User Variables)</li>
  <li>cygwin64 (added its installation-directory as value D:\cygwin64\bin to the PATH Variable under System Variables)</li>
  <li>Maven 3.2.5 (added its installation-directory as value D:\maven\bin to the PATH Variable under System Variables)</li>
  <li>Protocol Buffer 2.5 (added its installation-directory as value D:\protobuf to the PATH Variable under System Variables)</li>
  <li>Visual Studio 2010 </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>In the Visual Studio 2010 Command Prompt (started as Administrator) I have changed the drive to d: and used the folder of the hadoop src as a starting point ("D:\hdp").</p>
  
  <p>I do again set the JAVA_HOME in short notation and do set the Platform</p>
  
  <pre><code>set JAVA_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_71
  set Platform=x64
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Afterwards I try to build hadoop using the following Maven command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn -e -X package -Pdist -DskipTests -Dtar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After Building fails at "Apache Hadoop Common" stating the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-maven-plugins:2.6.0:protoc (compile-protoc) on project hadoop-common: org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException: protoc failure -&gt; [Help 1]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have slightly changed the file "ProtocMojo.java" under D:\hdp\hadoop-maven-plugins\src\main\java\org\apache\hadoop\maven\plugin\protoc by inserting the following afer line 56 in the file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>protocCommand = "D:\\protobuf\\protoc.exe";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This helps to build further to "Apache Hadoop HDFS" where it fails again stating as follows: </p>
  
  <pre><code>  [INFO] Executing tasks
