Wait for jar run from batch to finish?

Question

I start a jar file by batch and want to wait for that tool to finish before I continue with the next batch command. How could I do this?

java -jar "tool.jar" parameter /wait

Would this wait for the tool to end? Or would the jar be executed asynchronously?

I have tried this by I'm not really sure. That's why I ask the community. — membersound, Feb 20 '13 at 08:46
The `java`-command will stop blocking until your `main()`-method returns. It should therefor "wait" by default. — Lukas Knuth, Feb 21 '13 at 00:59

call java -jar "tool.jar" parameter /wait

If you run a program or another bat file with call, the calling bat file will wait, until the called bat file finished.
