I found the solution.

alteras sopc_builder is not correct !

In the perl-file usually located in C:\altera\quartus42\sopc_builder\bin\sopc_builder replace:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

--- Quote Start ---

if (! -x $javax )

{

$javax = get_java_exe($sopc_builder . "/bin/jre1.4",$shelled);

}[/b]

--- Quote End ---

by

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

--- Quote Start ---

if (! -x $javax )

{

$javax = get_java_exe("$quartus_dir"."/bin/jre",$shelled);

}[/b]

--- Quote End ---

Open the Nios IDE shell and execute the following line

chmod +x /cygdrive/altera/quartus42/bin/jre/bin/java.exe

Now the rebuild should work.
