In addition: You use cygwin, but the java.exe is a win32 native application expecting win32-conform path names. So if you create the CLASSPATH using cygwin's unix-style path names (with /usr/... and : as separator) they are not parseable by win32 Java. They must be formed using standard drive-letter/backslash/semicolon-separated in the env var!
