I use java and cygwin all the time, the thing you need to remember is that java for the
windows environment was not written to use unix command line syntax. Your compile line 
should be :

	  bash-2.02% javac -d "d:\destdir\classes" foo.java

Like Chris Faylor stated this is really a limitation of the javac compiler and not Cygwin.

Sun's javac, in jdk1.2.1, seems to change the
forward slashes used by bash to backward slashes
used by windows.

e.g.

  bash-2.02% javac -d //d/destdir/classes foo.java

produces the error message

  The \\d\destdir\classes directory does not exist.

Is there any way to use javac with bash
while specifying destination dirs for your classes?
It appears as though javac is trying to be too smart
by substituting slashes.

Thanks,
Craig
