Errors when using Cygwin and useWildcardClassPath=true #61

Description

Shell script generated with useWildcardClassPath=true is not working properly on Git Bash command-line. (MINGW64).

Symptoms:

  • When trying to run project on a cygwin console i get: Error: Could not find or load main class
  • The Windows bat works fine and the shell script executes fine on Linux machine.
  • The shell script works fine on Git Bash when using: useWildcardClassPath=false

After some investigation I've found that the issue is related to the wildcard in path and the fact that cygpath conversion is actually not invoked and for some reasons Unix-style CLASSPATH is ok without wildcard, but with wildcard it is not.

Change from:

# OS specific support.  $var _must_ be set to either true or false.
cygwin=false;
darwin=false;
case "`uname`" in
  CYGWIN*) cygwin=true ;;
  Darwin*) darwin=true

To:

# OS specific support.  $var _must_ be set to either true or false.
cygwin=false;
darwin=false;
case "`uname`" in
  CYGWIN*) cygwin=true ;;
  MINGW*) cygwin=true ;;
  Darwin*) darwin=true

Solves the issue.

Can you incorporate support for git-bash (MINGW64)?
It seems more and more popular nowadays.
