title: maven error when running in cygwin?
body: <p>I have cygwin in Windows 7 and downloaded and installed maven "binaries" and have the following set</p>
  
  <pre><code>export JAVA_HOME=/cygdrive/c/java/jdk1.7.0_11
  export MAVEN_HOME=/usr/apache-maven-3.0.5
  export M2_HOME=/home/MyUser/.m2
  export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$MAVEN_HOME/bin:$PATH
  
  $ which java
  /cygdrive/c/java/jdk1.7.0_11/bin/java
  
  $ java -version
  java version "1.7.0_11"
  Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21)
  Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)
  
  $ which mvn
  /usr/apache-maven-3.0.5/bin/mvn
  
  $ mvn -version
  Error: Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've looked at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11118237/maven-error-could-not-find-or-load-main-class-org-codehaus-plexus-classworlds-l">Maven error: Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher</a> but it did not address my issue.</p>
  
  <p>What did I miss?</p>
