If you really mean Java here, this is off-topic for this list, as it has
nothing to do with Cygwin.  There are no JVMs linked with Cygwin -- they
are all native Win32 applications.  As such, they are unlikely to
understand Cygwin signals.

I think we need to see a small reproducible testcase, with the exact
instructions on how to reproduce your problem.  We also need to see the
details of your problem, as requested in the Cygwin problem reporting
guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> (please read the *whole*
document before replying).  Note that a Java testcase won't do, as the JVM
is not a Cygwin executable.
HTH,
