Actually, I use both, switching between them depending on what I'm doing. 
Anyway, EMX.  We'll assume everything is in d:\emx:

LIBPATH: add d:\emx\dll
PATH: add d:\emx\bin
DPATH: add d:\emx\book    [not sure if this is required or not...]
HELP: add d:\emx\help
BOOKSHELF: add d:\emx\book

Add the following "section":

REM ***
REM EMX
REM ***
SET LIBRARY_PATH=d:/emx/lib
set C_INCLUDE_PATH=d:/emx/include
set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=d:/emx/include/cpp;d:/emx/include
set GCCLOAD=30
set GCCOPT=-pipe
set TERM=MONO
set TERMCAP=d:/emx/etc/termcap.dat
set EMXBOOK=emxdev.inf+emxlib.inf+emxgnu.inf+emxbsd.inf

Note that Java may already have a LIBRARY_PATH, and you'll just have to add
d:/emx/lib to it.
