It is possible but the OP stated that he mounted the directory to /ABC/XYZ.

Note java wouldn't understand "c:\blah\a.txt"   it could have "c:\\blah\a.txt" though.  A search and replace might be easier though, possibly using regex.

The issue is conversion of POSIX to WINDOWS paths for the "native"
program.  The OP needs to give the native java a Windows path but it
is getting the POSIX path and not able to find it.

$ cygpath -aw "/cygdrive/c/v"

or mount c:/v as /v.
