Windows equivalent for Unix find command to search multiple file types

While having a cygwin installed in windows gives most of unix command, still i was wondering how to search multiple filetypes in one command using windows "find" command.
ie: find . -name *.cpp -o -name *.h -o -name *.java

The above command gives me a list of all cpp, h & java, what will be the equivalent using the windows find?

This will locate all files with the given extensions in the current working directory and all subdirectories: 

dir *.cpp *.h *.java /b/s
