for the most part jdk/make/java/redist is copying files.
That smells like an anti-virus on-access scanning issue.

You might try turning off AV on-access scanning temporarily and see if that changes things.
Or add your source tree and build result area to the AV directory exclude list temporarily.
Of course, changing AV settings is a dangerous notice I said 'temporarily'.

Ultimate AV solution is Linux or Solaris of course. ;^)

Has anyone invented a Windows application build system that runs on Linux? ;^)
