Is there a java sdk for cygwin?

It would be nice if there were a native cygwin implementation which used the cygwin file system and X-windows for display, unfortunately I am not aware of such a release. I would assume it is quite an effort to port OpenJDK as well, but I haven't tried. source

Where can I download an offline installer of Cygwin?

I need an offline installer with most of the utilities commonly needed. Somehow the default installer confuses me with all its package selection. I installed Cygwin but I can't find the diff utility after the installation. source

Git On Windows Without Cygwin?

Have you tried looking at the TortoiseGit page on Google Code ? I believe it's the same project as the other link posted, but it's a bit friendlier. You can download the latest version as an installer from there. source

Why does Vista complain about a dead process when I use Cygwin X11 ssh and how do I get it to shut up?

The problem is, the process didn't just die, it died unexpectedly. Sounds like there's a bug in your SSH client that Vista is pointing out. source

How to find unique lines in a text file from command line?

Since the original question referenced Cygwin , which is Windows specific, I'll mention that Luis' answer works just as well using the GNU utilities for Win32 sort .
