Install J2EE tar on Cygwin?

[C Jennings]

Hello, 
This might be a stupid question but is it possible to install Linux
software onto Cygwin.

I currently have Cygwin + 3.1.4 KDE installed on my Windows XP box.
I've downloaded (wget) a tar file of the Java J2EE SDK v1.3.1 and
installed it using the following command provided on Sun's website:

tar xvzf j2sdkee-1_3_1-linux.tar.gz 


After following a few easy instructions for setting env variables, it
doesn't work when I try to launch it using the command:
j2ee - verbose?  These commands and set up are all explained in 'Head
First EJB' book.

I don't know if it won't work because Cygwinis a port of the linux OS
and you can therefore only install the ported utilites that are
already provided by Cygwin such as Nedit or if i am doing something
wrong?

Any advice is appreciated..

CJ
