I use arduino_debug to upload my sketch to an Arduino Mega 2560 and to an Arduino Due from my application (Windows).
I saw the following issue:
When JAVA is not installed or it was installed only after the Arduino SW installation, the command:
arduino_debug --port COM6 --upload mysketch.ino
doesn't successfully to upload the sketch. My Arduino is connected to COM6 (I verified it) and the sketch's path is correct.
I got the following output:

Sketch uses 6222 bytes (19%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 318 bytes (15%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1730 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Has anyone seen this issue? Does anyone know why JAVA must be installed?
