Hi all.
what is the diff btw java.exe and javaw.exe
as I know, java.exe launched the JVM , but what about javaw.exe ?

It's a Windows-only thing. "java.exe" is attached to standard I/O; if you start it by double-clicking, a new terminal window gets created. "javaw.exe" creates a JVM with the standard I/O streams unconnected -- the process launches into the background and if you double-click, no terminal will be created.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
