Hello Guys,when i list the folders and files,it is shown,this is the Image

What could be the problem?

What's requirement of Cygwin here?

Answer 1

you need to compile the java application first, using "ant compile", so the java classes will be created and javah can export the java header file

Answer 2

I had the same trouble earlier, but this solved it:
javah -classpath [wherever you compiled HelloWorld] -o HelloWorld.h example.jni.HelloWorld

Got it from http://www.inonit.com/cygwin/jni/helloWorld/header.html
