I want to run java program on windows environment as background process

Question

Hi all
I want to run java program on windows environment as background processSo command prompt return after executing java command and program on background In Linux we can do this easily �but I do not how to do this in windows
for example look this programe
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestClass {
     class ravi extends Thread{
          public void run(){
               try {    
                    String target_file = "ravind.txt";
                    File targetfile = new File(target_file);
                    PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(targetfile)) ;
               for (int i =0 ; i < 100 ;i++ ){
                    Thread.sleep(10000);
                    writer.println(" ravindra shukla ");
          } catch (Exception e) {               
                         e.printStackTrace();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          TestClass test1 = new TestClass();
          TestClass.ravi r1 = test1.new ravi();
          r1.start();          
System.out.println(" return from main ");
first i compile this
javac TestClass.java
then i run this by using this command
java TestClass
but becouse i put sleep on threads run function so it takes to much time to get return on command promt .... i want to run this programe as background process so command promt return as soon as i execute java command

Thanks dude
This solution �start java TestClass� works fine �. But it does not solve my problem
It opens another black window and that black window persist till the life time of my program
Is it possible application run on complete background without opening another black window �as in Linux
