A patch fixing idea.sh so that it works on Windows would certainly be
welcome.

Hi Chris , thanks for the info .
However I found out that replacing the /cygdrive/C/ with C:/ in the
top-level xml/iml files in the ".idea" - folder
makes IntelliJ happy, I could then open the project successfully from
IntelliJ .
So I guess a couple of "cygpath -aw" -calls at the right places in the
project generation might fix the idea.sh based project file generation on Cygwin
(without postprocessing).
Any comments on this ?
Or is there another way to get .idea/-files that open "out of the box" ?
Best regards, Matthias

Hello, I tried to use bin/idea.sh with Cygwin to generate project files for
IDEA IntelliJ Community .
The project file generation seems to work and outputs the .idea - folder
with lots of xml files in it .
However , when opening the project from IDEA, it fails with a message :
VCS root configuration problems -
The directory \cygdrive\C\hg\open\jdk\jdk6 is registered as a hg4idea root
but no hg4idea repositories were found there .
C.\hg\open\jdk\jdk6
Could it be that the Cygwin-paths in the generated xml-files confuse the
IDEA intelliJ IDE ?
Certainly looks like it.
Has anybody ever used it successfully with Cygwin/ Windows ?
( or with some other UNIX shell/toolset for Windows) ?
I have not tried. I use it successfully on macOS and Linux.
