Cygwin is (well, strives to be) a SOURCE-compatible environment. To run a
linux program in cygwin, the program must be recompiled from source. It
will not run binaries pre-compiled for Linux, and Java J2EE for linux is
not only a binary, but it is also closed source (which defeats the ability
to compile it against cygwin because of licensing issues). However, Sun
distributes a windows version of J2EE, so just use that binary.
