Cannot create gcc executable in Eclipse

I am developing a Java program in Eclipse. I need to compile a input C file in this Java program. So I used the below code.
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{
     "C:/cygwin/bin/bash", 
     "-c", 
     "/usr/bin/gcc /cygdrive/d/MyFile.c -o /cygdrive/d/MyExe"});
I have installed Cygwin as well. But I could not create MyExe.exe from executing above code.
 
Inserting "-c" next to gcc command successfully creates object file (MyExe.o). Also when I run this program outside Eclipse (using command prompt) it creates .exe correctly.
 
Can somebody tell me what is the wrong with this code?

I'm pretty sure it's because you are trying to mix two ways of passing the arguments to exec().
Try this:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{
"C:/cygwin/bin/bash",
"-c /usr/bin/gcc",
"/cygdrive/d/MyFile.c",
"-o /cygdrive/d/MyExe"});
or 
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
"C:/cygwin/bin/bash -c /usr/bin/gcc /cygdrive/d/MyFile.c -o /cygdrive/d/MyExe");
 
Cheers,
Peter
