Hi;

I'm using cygwin on a win2k box.

I haven't had any luck executing java from bash.
It works from DOS.

The java path is C:\JDK\bin

It is included in my PATH variable through windows via
Start | Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables

All of the directories in my PATH are set from here.

When I run "echo $PATH" from bash I noticed that all of those other 
directories in my PATH are correctly translated from windows to cygwin 
format.  In other words C:\Foo becomes /cygdrive/c/Foo in bash.

However C:\JDK\bin remains C:\JDK\bin

I'm guessing this has something to do with the problem.
Any ideas on how I can fix it?

I already tried setting a path variable in my .bashrc to no avail.
My windows PATH variable is set for the entire system.

Steve
