What you are seeing here is the expected result of *not* using a windows console but instead a pty, which to javaw.exe will appear to be redirection to a pipe. And again, since a pipe does not involve a windows console in any way it is irrelevant. If you try the above from a windows console (this means CMD.EXE, no rxvt, no xterm, no CYGWIN=tty) you get no output whatsoever from javaw.exe. The distinction may not matter to you, but the default "Bash shell" that Cygwin provides is precisely this, a stock windows console.
