Javac classpath ignored

Question

I'm trying to run javac 1.5.0 in Cygwin but it seems to ignore the classpath I pass in,
so I get "package does not exist" error. Any ideas?
Here's my command:
/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/java/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/javac \
-verbose \
-d classes \
-classpath .://filer/home/doog/src/adsenseapi/google3/java \
-sourcepath . \
ErrorCode.javaHere's part of the verbose output (formatted pretty):
search path for class files:
[c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\lib\rt.jar
c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\lib\jsse.jar
c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\lib\jce.jar
c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\lib\charsets.jar,
c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\lib\ext\dnsns.jar
c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\lib\ext\localedata.jar
c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\lib\ext\sunjce_provider.jar
c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\lib\ext\sunpkcs11.jar]
//filer7/home/build/google3/java/com/google/common/base/ThrowableFormat.java:8: package javax.servlet does not exist
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
                    ^The ServletException class is at ./javax/servlet/ServletException.class
Before that I tried putting servlet.jar in the current directory,
and I've also tried pointing to j2ee.jar which holds javax.servlet

Are you certain? I tried semicolon prior to posting the message. That gives a "no source files" error right at the semicolon:
javac: no source files
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
./compile-errormessages: line 5: //filer/home/doog/src/adsenseapi/google3/java: is a directoryI'm fairly certain that Cywin uses Unix separators, since it also uses forward
slash instead of backslash.
