Should be unnecessary. The manufacturer probably picked Java for its
cross-platform capabilities. The one sticking point is I see no way a
pure Java program can interact with a RAID controller, so I suspect
there is a platform-specific portion somewhere. If there is, Cygwin
can't run it for you, it would be an ELF format .so distributed by the
manufacturer. But they probably released versions for both platforms.
If there is a free version, they likely targetted both, or you may be
able to compile the necessary shared object under Cygwin.

Java for UI across systems is a good trick. Program the part that
matters, but has no GUI, in something else that you can compile for
the systems you need to support.
