As one who is using Cygwin and following the news in this list, but more
experienced with Windows than with 'nix, I would like to see a 1 or 2
sentence description in any new package announcement, be it official or
preliminary.
About 4 of 5 of the program names I see posted, I've never heard of, but I
might realize the possible usefulness of some of them if I did know.
Thanks

I'll be glad to second this request. My cygwin bin contains 561 files.
I'm willing to bet that I've never used about half of them, and never
heard of about a quarter. A short description would be really useful.

Hi,
I have two questions:
1. Can I run Java on CGYWIN environment?
If so, where can I download Java for Cgywin environment?
2. How can I compile / include packages into cgywin environment. I heard
you can modify some setup.ini files? Well, I am new-bie, thus and pointers
will be of great help.
Cheers,
Michael

Question 2 is very well documented, so feel free to look it up.
(Archives, FAQ, etc)
Question 1 was answered about a week or two ago but I'm not sure if it's
in the archives yet. Just in case:
The easiest thing to do is get the JDK for Windows, install it, and then
just call it from Cygwin. (Make sure you set up your PATH after
installation. Read the installation instructions for the JDK for
details.)
Good luck.
-Alex
