Seeing as you did not supply specifics it's a little hard to know exactly
what's going on, but it is conceivable that you need to put $CLASSPATH
inside double quotes, i.e., if it has the Windows ; separator in it.  Also,
I discovered that if Windows drives are mentioned, such as C:, the next
character needs to be \, that is: C:\..., not (e.g.) C:a\b.

But turning \ or / into . would not have been done by cygpath.  That
would be done by Java.

But lastly I note that I am not aware of any version of Java built for
cygwin.  Java is a Windows program, so you'd be wanting something more
like:

java $JAVA_OPTS -classpath "$(cygpath -pw "$CLASSPATH")" ...

$(...) is the more modern version of ` `, which is now deprecated.
The " " around $( ) is to prevent the ; in the path from ending the
java command line as it is being processed by bash.

For a path that starts with drive letter C (say), start the path with
/cygdrive/c.
