Close a batch file after running the jar file

Question

I wrote a batch file that runs a jar file. But after it runs the jar file the batch file doesn't close until the jar file is also closed. How can I close the command screen when it opens the jar file?( when the jar file is open I want to close the command screen.)

My batch file :

@echo off
java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe -jar ".\sample.jar"
exit

It's interesting that "java" and "javaw" performing diffrent result. — Leo Lee, Mar 30 '17 at 07:24

Use the start command before the rest of the command.

when I use start I am getting "windows cannot find '-jar'. Make sure you type the name correctly..." – Navakanth Feb 27 '17 at 11:02

I have recently had this problem and for someone other in future, complete and simple way is here:

@echo off
start javaw -jar "nameOfJar.jar"
exit

This starts jar and close CLI.

Important is the "start" command and the "javaw" command for windows environment.

Important is "start" and "javaw" not "javac". – brad12s Sep 01 '15 at 19:43
