Yes, exactly. That's why I suggested creating a wrapper for using in such cases, because... > The better solution for everyone, that will hopefully be coming with the > opening of java > source, is we will start to see standard java SDK packages that can compile > and run > natively in cygwin.

Maybe in terms of saving effort it's too late, however, since it's already done. There is a Cygwin port of gcj and the like, but I haven't managed to get that to work at all with jdee (knowing where to point the jde-* variables seems to be the main problem, because the GNU Java stuff seems to be pretty non-standard, not to say downright odd). > >> Could it not be wrapped by another (internal to jde) function that > includes the > >> jde-cygpath call when the environment demands it (i.e. when running on > >> Cygwin)? > > Well, the beauty of Emacs is ... yes.

I might try it, but it would then affect all expand-file-name calls, as you say (even if they are just within jde). Not a problem, I guess, but probably unnecessary and there might also be cases where it would also be undesirable.
