What exactly is javaw? I could not find any documentation in JDK docs.

It's just java.exe without DOS prompt attached to <br />
System.out and<br />
System.err<br />
<br />
I don't understand what you would like to be seeing in <br />
documentation. Its platform specific. {:)<br />
<br />
I use java Main.class 2&gt;/dev/null 1&gt;/dev/null on Unix to<br />
achieve the same thing.<br />

Michal, thank you for an answer. All I would like to see in documentation is that &quot;javaw is java.exe without DOS prompt attached to System.out and System.err&quot;. How can I use it without knowing that it exists.<br />

Just FYI, my friend told me that {:)<br />
I am proud to be Platform independent with my Java<br />
code {:) We develop on Solaris/Linux and W95.<br />
<br />
Win* OSs tends to be the most fuzzy and buggy thing under the<br />
Sun {:)<br />

Whenever you start Java application from a batch file or a Windows shortcut using command<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;java MainClassName<br />
you get the console window along with any windows that Java might open. For a shortcut it is easy to run this console window in minimized mode so that it is visible only on a toolbar.<br />
<br />
My question: is it possible to get rid of the console window entirely or at list remove it from the Windows toolbar?<br />

Java console window

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
