How to see System.out for executable jar?

Question

I have a little java tool that should make some console output by System.out.println(). But if I export it as runnable jar and run it by javaw.exe -jar path\to\myfile.jar, it is executed but there is no output on the console!

What might I be doing wrong?

Answer 1

javaw.exe does not have a console associated with it. you need to use java.exe. If java is not on the path, enter the full path, e.g. path\to\java.exe -jar path\to\myfile.jar
