I have installed my jdk direct in windows and not inside cygwin. So my
path inside cygwin is /cygdrive/c/Program\
Files/ojdkbuild/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.201-1. This path isn't found by
configure without jdk-home-configure-switch.

Without my changes i get the following error when i make "make clean".
"make: *** No rule to make target 'clean-unittest++', needed by
'clean-tests'.  Stop."
clean-unittest++ is commented out in the generated Makefile because i
build without native plugin.

If you have an jdk on windows without registry entries and set without
JAVA_HOME, than jdk from path is trying. This path is canonicalized and
leads to an unc-path. I have in a test spawn() persuaded (with
current_dir) to use this unc-path, but java.exe don't like unc-path in
his classpath.

When you install openjdk with ojdkbuild it will be found. When you
install oracle-jdk and you don't disable "Public JRE" in the installer,
than it would also be found.
