Nandika,
Your problem is the semi-colon after $CLASSPATH. In cygwin (gnu) it
separates commands, so the shell thinks you are running *two* commands.
First it tries

   java -cp $CLASSPATH

which gives the error message. Then the shell tries to execute

  com/XML

which obviously does not exist.

Try to surround the arguments to `java' within quotas like

  java -cp "$CLASSPATH;com/XML$*"
	     ^                    ^
           |                    |
           +------------------------- This is the tricks.

(Though im not sure I understand what you actually want to perform with this
command (com/XML$* ???))

Hope it helps,
/norling
