Basic doubt

Your link says following

Is it that just to avoid a console window javaw.exe was introduced. Or is there anything much more differences between java and javaw

Ok. I understood. Please tell me is it possible to get more error details if lauch fails. I asked because, i have application that simply displays error as "Could not find main class. Program will exit". This error when used javaw command. And i also tried using java command and i get different error. This is where i am confused

I would try java.exe rather than javaw.exe, so The window doesn't disappear. (And

from the command line rather than double clicking.)

Post the command you are using and the message that results. Copy, paste and

post the actual command and message. If you are executing a .jar file, post its

manifest.
