    Default Windows 7 - jar file not opening a window

    So I have code and it outputs using the standard System.out.print commands. In winXP, when I compiled this into a .jar file, and used eg. javaw -jar path.jar, it would open a command prompt-style window which would show the program's output. Now in win7 (diaf forever), when I use the same commands, from windows explorer or from a command prompt, javaw.exe*32 starts as a process and runs the code, but there is no output window (the program output doesn't show anywhere). How do I get my program output to show?

    Have you tried the java command?
    Read the API doc for the difference between javaw and java
