For Java, you'll need to install the Windows version of the SDK, not the
Linux version.  Since the executables (javac, java, etc.) are native
Windows executables, they won't understand Cygwin paths.  You'll need to
become familiar with the "cygpath" command.

There's a recent thread (probably more than one) about this in the
mailing list archives.  The resources at
http://www.inonit.com/cygwin/faq/ may help.
