I have a situation where I actually _do_ want the command window to
show after a runtime.exec() call. (Although we pipe stout/stdin to
our own logging mech, the program needs to be able to trap Ctrl-C
keystrokes). Our application is launched by javaw.
In Java 1.3.1, this behaviour was present (and much resented it looks
like) but in 1.4+ Sun have 'fixed' it, and the dos window no longer
pops up on a Runtime.exec("ourbatchfilelauncher.bat") I tried doing
an exec("cmd launcher.bat") but no joy there either.
Is there any way of turning this behaviour back on? Thanks in
advance,
James.
