starting .jar with .bat-file, and closing command window

[mabuhay]

Hello

I need to give my java application more heap, so I am using a .bat file with the command

start "" java -Xms100m -Xmx300m -jar "D:\my_app.jar"

This works fine. The thing I don't like is that it opens a command window, which stays open until the java application is closed.

Is there any way to start the java application and close the command window right away? Or is there any other possibility to achieve the increase of the heap size? A .bat file is also not so nice because it will work only on a windows machine...

you can use javaw instead of java.

Oh yes, that works fine.

start "" javaw -Xms100m -Xmx300m -jar "D:\my_app.jar"

Thanks!
