investigating deeper into the issue.  (Apparently, Java no longer accepts file:...

That probably needs whatever magic will convert a cygwin path into a DOS/NT path i.e. something starting with

    C:\

(note the backslash instead of a forwardslash)

No, things unfortunately appear to be more broken than that (at least with JDK 10.0.2):

* Using C:\foo\bar.jar pathnames in a jar's manifest class-path doesn't work (and <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/specs/jar/jar.html#class-path-attribute> does require those values to be "relative URLs"). At java run-time (e.g., when executing a JunitTest), resolving classes via that class-path entry apparently fails.

* Likewise when using C:/foo/bar.jar pathnames.

* Using file:/C:/foo/bar.jar URLs in a jar's manifest class-path would work at run-time. However, when that jar is then mentioned in the -classpath argument of some javac invocation at build time, that invocation fails with "error: illegal argument for --class-path: Illegal char <:> at index 4: file:/C:/..."

* The only working hack I found for now is to use /foo/bar.jar drive-relative pathnames, which happen to also match the syntax of relative URLs.
