Run and compile java code in cygwin

I just installed cygwin and I am wondering how do I compile and run my java code through cygwin?

My java code is at my desktop saved in a file named Java.

Assuming you have Java SDK for Windows installed.

In the simplest case:

  1. Ensure/Add java to PATH in cygwin:

    export PATH=$PATH:"/cygdrive/C/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_31/bin/"

    (don't forget the backslash after Program)

  2. cd to your desktop:

    cd /path/to/Desktop

  3. run java compiler:

    javac HelloWorld.java

In complex projects you will need to provide a bunch or arguments to javac to make it compile.
