Just use the windows batch file. Cygwin is a pain, especially when doing Java development.

If you are a DOS BATCH file find of a guy, yeah, Cygwin is pain. But for a lot of people, it's the opposite---for them (me and people like me, I understand we are a minority), Cygwin is a pain, but DOS BATCH files are more pain.

Actually, I'm more of a Unix script guy. That's why I find Cygwin such a painful frankenstein environment for that supposed purpose. However, when I write software that will be used and potentially maintained by Windows developers, I'd lean towards writing DOS batch scripts (even if I'd need a long shower afterwards ;-)).
