Many Cygwin packages come with a README file. As I mentioned
previously[1], the one you want is /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/gcc4.README.

In that file is a section called "Java users need an additional download
to compile source to bytecode." that clearly describes what to do.

Specifically, it says to download

  ftp://sourceware.org/pub/java/ecj-latest.jar

and rename the file to

  /usr/share/java/ecj.jar.

Please, please, please, please read the responses to your emails before
asking another question.

I've emailed this response directly to you as well as the list in the
off chance that you're not actually looking at the list for responses to
the emails you're sending there.
