Is there a java sdk for cygwin?

Is there a java sdk for cygwin?

  • I'm pretty sure you can use a normal Windows SDK install and just set it to be in your path.

    Gambit : I want cygwin file system path integration.
    Mr. Will : I found a link on this from the OpenJDK project. http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#paths
    cletus : -1 Windows Java SDK doesn't behave correct on Cygwin. For example, it expects backslashes in paths.
    From Mr. Will
  • It would be nice if there were a native cygwin implementation which used the cygwin file system and X-windows for display, unfortunately I am not aware of such a release. I would assume it is quite an effort to port OpenJDK as well, but I haven't tried.
