Just to amplify this a little. This is a workaround for an issue which
prevents Java applications which use SWT/Motif (which will be on platforms
where Motif is the default windowing toolkit e.g. AIX, HP-UX and perhaps some
older Solaris) from working with the Cygwin/X server. The most notable
example of such an application is possibly Eclipse.
You can see the SWT bug which is the underlying cause [1]
