No, this is not yet a Cygwin package.  I haven't found the time to release
it.  What I usually do is check out this directory into, say,
/usr/contrib/wrappers/java, and add symlinks from /usr/local/bin.

The scripts will translate Cygwin paths for you into Windows paths...  The
native Windows versions of Java will not understand Cygwin paths.  Other
than that, if you're only planning to use relative paths, you can stick
with the native JDK.
