Re: Which version of emacs works with cygwin and JDEE

I've never tested under Cygwin emacs, but there are lots of problems  
that come the way it treats DOS paths in a UNIX like way.

Support for XEmacs, GNU Emacs, then (X)Emacs built for cygwin starts  
to get out of hand.

In your own environment, you could start using things like `cygpath'  
to make these path conversions but I think you're time is better spent  
using the GNU build of Emacs under NT.
