No, that's not it. Java replaces dots by slashes internally, so the above is a perfectly valid error message -- it really cannot find the class. What's wrong is that you supply the classpath as a POSIX path, and java, not being a Cygwin application, doesn't understand this path. You need to convert the path to a Win32 path using cygpath. For automatic conversion, search the archives for "java wrapper scripts".
