Another option, one I have followed for a long time now, is to use the
Jikes compiler from IBM (see
http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/project/).
It's -insanely- fast, very solid, and best of all, is a C++ program
that compiles under cygwin -- therefore it understands cygwin paths
natively. I haven't used javac in perhaps 18 months, and I develop in
Java on Win32, Linux, and Solaris machines.
