Hi,
You usually do not get the command prompt back until the application
has finished. A short, HelloWorld.class application finishes and then
you immediately get back the command prompt.
However, a server will not finish until you write a relatively straightforward
user interface to allow you to tell it to shut down.
If you do not want to open another command window to issue your next
command, you can do the following:
windows:
start
java path/ApplicationName
unix:
java path/ApplicationName &
Thanks,
