How to close the terminal without killing the jar file process that is running

Question

I have created a .bat file that is included in the PATH variable so that when calling it from the terminal anywhere it would be executed and a java -jar command will be run.

@echo off
java -jar "[path]\[filename].jar"

This jar is a JavaFX Application which has a GUI interface. But when I close the terminal, the JavaFX Application gets terminated. Is there a certain command that could prevent the application from being killed when closing the terminal on windows?

It might help to know that on a Unix system the command you're looking for is called `nohup`. — chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic-, Jun 01 '21 at 17:39
