Does anyone know of any way to hide or close the command line in a java application without closing the program? I want to close the command line but keep the java window open.

I hope I understood you correctly(:D )...make a clickable jar file and then click on it to run the app....

Maybe what you're asking for relates to using javaw to run the app rather than java.

create the jar file using your own manifest.mf file and make sure that
manifest file points to the class that has the main method in it.
Class-Name:package.MyClassName
you should be able to find more info on google about this...if you come accross any issues..post your errors and question ....

just create a jar file using the following line of code
jar cvf jarfilename.jar folder/*.*
the above will create a jar file named "jarfilename.jar"
if you open up this jar file using unzipping software such as WinRAR(etc), you will see that there is a file named manifest.mf. This file is a just a text file containing some info(nothing much at this point).
In this file you can tel the jar file that there is a file that has main method in it and when user clicks it will run that....I think you must do a google search for "Create a clickable jar"

Creating a JAR file is useful, but I think that you may find that you will have great difficulty creating a MANIFEST.MF file and successfully using the JAR command, especially if you use packages to sort your classes. A better approach for simple programs would be to create a shortcut to your Java program using the JAVAW command.
If you do decide to create a JAR file, you will need to include the Main-Class attribute so that the VM knows which class contains your main method.
