Difference between java.exe and javaw.exe

Question

Recently I noted that some applications are running on javaw (not in java). What is the difference between them and how can I run my Swing application on javaw?

Answer 1

java.exe is the command where it waits for application to complete untill it takes the next command. javaw.exe is the command which will not wait for the application to complete. you can go ahead with another commands.
