Hi,

I'm having a problem running JAR files in cygwin.

If I attempt to call a JAR file using its relative path, then it works fine:

$ pwd
/usr/local/bin
$ java -jar malt-1.0.1/malt.jar
<correct output>

But, if I attempt to call a JAR file using its full path, the file no
longer seems visible:

$ pwd
/usr/local/bin
$ java -jar /usr/local/bin/malt-1.0.1/malt.jar
Unable to access jarfile /usr/local/bin/malt-1.0.1/malt.jar

It works just fine in DOS:

D:\>java -jar c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\malt-1.0.1\malt.jar
<correct output>

The end goal is to run the JAR from a python program running in cygwin.

Thanks for the help,
Dan
