Description thegame 2012-06-04 02:44:07 UTC 
The integrated netbeans terminal is not using cygwin's bash.exe, but instead it uses sh.exe.

The problem with sh.exe is it won't show the current file path when changing directories, so you can never quickly see where your working directory is.

Definitely not a P1.
