Hello, I tried to use bin/idea.sh with Cygwin to generate project files for IDEA IntelliJ Community .

The project file generation seems to work and outputs the .idea - folder with lots of xml files in it . However , when opening the project from IDEA, it fails with a message : VCS root configuration problems - The directory \cygdrive\C\hg\open\jdk\jdk6 is registered as a hg4idea root but no hg4idea repositories were found there . C.\hg\open\jdk\jdk6

Could it be that the Cygwin-paths in the generated xml-files confuse the IDEA intelliJ IDE ?

Certainly looks like it.

Has anybody ever used it successfully with Cygwin/ Windows ? ( or with some other UNIX shell/toolset for Windows) ?

I have not tried. I use it successfully on macOS and Linux.
