Caveat Mavener-on-Cygwin: If your Java installation is native Windows (mine is - I use Sun's JDK), then Cygwin paths will NOT be properly interpreted; make sure that you don't use absolute Cygwin paths for filesystem resources. (The lack of filesystem path interoperability is my main beef with Cygwin, which I mostly adore otherwise.)
