You may have not installed ghostscript (for cygwin).

I'm afraid that's either a bug in LilyPondTool that has been solved in 
the latest development version (0.2.8-3 downloadable and unzippable from 
www.sf.net/projects/lily4jedit), or it is because you have not installed 
cygwin to c:\cygwin

Yes, it does, but don't mind.

Almost. LilyPond mimics a bash shell by invoking the command you place 
by running bash:
bash --login -c "cd YOURBUFFERPATH; YOURCOMMAND"

Yes, it is adapted, but the problems come from cygwin, which contains 
programs that was designed for Linux and not Windows.

It is in the sources. However, you can make your own commands (using the 
Console's features), like the one with bash above.
But remember that the most easy and preferred and best and nicest way to 
have cygwin installed in c:\cygwin

The list may have an other name, look at www.jedit.org
