to a corporate address today, but their "security" software
mangled both commands beyond recognition, and I had to read
them over the telephone. If I didn't speak with you on the

We use "java" only for Relax NG, and for that reason I'd like
to figure out how to find 'java.exe' from Cygwin--without
adding the whole 1393-character $PATH set by corporate IT.
Based on the result of this "dir" command on the target
machine (from which I've removed five directories specific
to a middleware company that doesn't "own" the language):
---------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-------
C:\>dir /s java.exe
Volume in drive C is [REDACTED]
Volume Serial Number is [REDACTED]
Directory of C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath
2019-04-29 09:53 AM 192,376 java.exe
1 File(s) 192,376 bytes
Directory of C:\Program Files (x86)\Common
Files\Oracle\Java\javapath_target_1634306390
2019-04-29 09:53 AM 192,376 java.exe
1 File(s) 192,376 bytes
Directory of C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_211\bin
2019-04-29 09:53 AM 192,376 java.exe
1 File(s) 192,376 bytes
--------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------
...I speculate that this command:
PATH="C:/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Common\ Files/Oracle/Java/javapath" java
-version
will do the expected thing in a cygwin terminal, so I've
added that string to the $PATH in commit 87c94d43. But it's
hard to guess whether I cygwin-ified that correctly, so
please read this message in the mailing list's html archives,
and copy and paste that command and let me know if it fails.
