I hate it when Open Source projects can’t handle the fact that I run everything in Cygwin.  Yes, I still want to use your run.sh file and have it understand my Java interpreter. Yes, classpath and everything!  It’s not hard people!

Luckily, I keep this script handy, which I stole from ANT years ago:

case "`uname`" in
  CYGWIN*) cygwin=true ;;

esac

# For Cygwin, switch paths to Windows format before running java
if $cygwin; then
  JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --windows "$JAVA_HOME"`
  CLASSPATH=`cygpath --windows --path "$CLASSPATH"`
