[Wrapper-user] Hiding console window when running wrapper in console mode

[V. S. <ho...@se...>]

Hi, is there a way to hide the (black) windows console window when running
in console mode?

I have got an application that I would like to install either as a service
or as a regular java process started from the startup directory on windows
or from the **start>all programs menu**. In both cases I need to show a gui,
but preferably not the windows console window. This works fine in the
service case, but I can't get it to disappear in console mode. I have tried
using javaw as my wrapper.java.command, and doing a **start "myapp" /B
%~dp0wrapper.exe -c ..\conf\wrapper.conf**, but with no success.

I investigated running a straight javaw process for the console mode: start
/B javaw -cp ...
Although I can get the console window to disappear, the process does not
seem to get the log off event from the os (windows xp) until after the user
press the "end now" button on the windows dialog that notifies the user that
a program could not stop. Using java.exe allows the program to exit
successfully, but then the console window comes back...

Any help appreciated,
