You'll have to be a bit more specific than that.  You can always, for
example, pipe the data to a Java program from a Tcl program, and vice
versa.

Details, please.  What does "does not install" mean.  You're not trying to
unpack a Linux binary RPM, for example, are you?  If you try compiling it
from source, what messages do you get?

First you have to tell us what "the trick" is.

Yes, normal and expected.  There is no open-source JVM ported to Cygwin,
AFAIK.  You could use the Java wrapper scripts in the cygwin-apps CVS to
get some of the look-and-feel of Linux java from the command line (POSIX
classpaths and whatnot), but underneath it's still the good ol' Windows
JDK/JRE.
