Is 'java' in your path?  It doesn't look like it to me 
but I'm not sure where you put it.  I'm also unclear as to
from where and how the messages you report are generated.
If you're still having trouble with this, providing specific
steps that show the problem would be helpful.

Keep in mind that 'java' is not a Cygwin program, so using
it with Cygwin paths directly will cause problems.  You may
want to create wrappers for your use that employ 'cygpath' to
do path conversion.  Cygwin's Java compiler is 'gcj', FWIW.
It understands all Cygwin's nice extras.  

There has been lots of discussion in the past about using Sun's 
Java with Cygwin and ways to integrate it more completely.  You 
may want to check out some of that previous discussion too.
