$ANT_HOME and $JAVA_HOME should be windows format, e.g.
ANT_HOME=C:\java\ant
JAVA_HOME=C:\java\jdk
I set these via the system so they are available in DOS or bash.
When Java is running on a windows machine (regardless of cygwin's
presence) it wants windows style paths. We also have to quote
classpaths on the command line, since windows path separator is ';'
(unix is ':') and cygwin sees ';' as the end of a command. Luckily
java doesn't differentiate between '/' or '\' so we don't need to
worry about escaping them:
java -cp "c:/java/foo/foo.jar;c:/java/bar/bar.jar" MainClass
