cygwin

I'd like to put the yuicompressor jar file in a single folder so that I can call

java -jar yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar ...

from anywhere on my system, with cygwin. For bash files I use I simply put them in a common folder, and added the folder's path to my windows user's PATH environment variable and the bash commands were found in cygwin.

when I echo $PATH I see the folder I put the yuicompressor jar into listed in the $PATH..

But when I try java -jar yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar ... I get the following error message:

Unable to access jarfile yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar

Even when I try providing an absolute path to the jarfile I get the same error message..

How can I do this?
