No, that's not it.  Java replaces dots by slashes internally, so the above
is a perfectly valid error message -- it really cannot find the class.

What's wrong is that you supply the classpath as a POSIX path, and java,
not being a Cygwin application, doesn't understand this path.  You need to
convert the path to a Win32 path using cygpath.  For automatic conversion,
search the archives for "java wrapper scripts".
