I believe the Emacs compile command starts a Java compilation with the
equivalent of
bash -c javac MyClass.java
In this case, the shell is started in batch (non-interactive) mode. In
batch mode,
bash does not run your .bashrc script. Therefore, javac inherits the value
of the
CLASSPATH variable from Emacs which inherits it from Windows and hence the
value
of the CLASSPATH is the NT value not your .bashrc value.
Perhaps a bash expert can confirm the above.

According to the bash doc, batch mode will,
on startup, execute the script whose path is specified by the environment
variable ENV.
Therefore, you could define ENV in your NT environment and point it to your
.bashrc script in your home directory.

Reading the make doc reveals that there are -f and -C variables for defining
the location of the makefile and the startup directory, respectively. You can
use these with JDE's build command to run a makefile located anywhere on
your local drive or network.
