Cygwin and Java

Question

I am new to Cygwin. What are the normal steps that are followed when setting Java classpath and all for running programs in Cygwin?

Answer 1

It sounds like you need to convert between Windows and Unix-style paths (your Java probably wants Windows paths, your Cygwin talks UNIX). Here is a guide to convert between Unix and Windows paths in Cygwin, using the cygpath util.
