I use cygwin as my NT java development environment - however I use the NT
native version of java. This opens its own windows and doesn't use X
('cos it's the NT version).
In order to get java to do what you want it to do, you need a version of
java compiled under cygwin. AFAIK this doesn't exist.
If you want to have a go - you can get the java source from Sun I believe
under
there open source program. That might compile fairly easily - but then it
might not.
