lein install does not work properly in Cygwin

[bluebear94]

(from trying to build boot-clj/boot)

(cd boot/worker && lein install)

Makefile:64: recipe for target 'boot/worker/target/worker-2.2.0.jar' failed
make: *** [boot/worker/target/worker-2.2.0.jar] Error 1

JAVA_CMD is set to /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_51/bin/java

This error is probably caused by using a Java version built for Windows, which can't recognize such file names. However, it will be difficult to resolve since now we would need two separate variables for the Java path, and the solution is probably not worth the effort.

I encounter a similar problem, the script cannot resolve windows path for JDK's java executable file. Here is what I got:
