When starting a maven 2 build the slave fails installing the JDK. I've tried several versions from update 17-20 and they all fail with equal errors.

Reason seems incorrect path building by the master as the working dir is set in Windows style instead of *nix style. (backslashes against forward slashes). Please see build log below. The jdk.sh install file is downloaded to the slave & when manually run, gives no error at all. Of course, on the next build the JDK get's reinstalled & fails once more.
