Close a batch file after running the jar file

Question

I wrote a batch file that runs a jar file. But after it runs the jar file the batch file doesn't close until the jar file is also closed. How can I close the command screen when it opens the jar file?( when the jar file is open I want to close the command screen.)

My batch file :

@echo off
java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe -jar ".\sample.jar"
exit

Answer 1

Use the start command before the rest of the command.

Answer 2

I have recently had this problem and for someone other in future, complete and simple way is here:

@echo off
start javaw -jar "nameOfJar.jar"
exit

This starts jar and close CLI.

Important is the "start" command and the "javaw" command for windows environment.
