Javaw.exe does not generate any output?

Question

I must have something set up wrong ... when I use JAVAW.EXE on the "Hello world" class in the tutorial found on java.sun.com, nothing happens. I tried it with the VERBOSE switch also, and still nothing happens. The only output I ever see occurs if I intentionally generate an error, and then I see a windows messagebox. JAVA.EXE works fine in the console, however.
OS: Win 2000 professional
Thanx :)

Hello Robert!
How can i generate a new console window with text displayed in it, on clicking a button in a frame using java.exe or javaw.exe?

If i remember correctly the Hello World program prints
a line to the comamnd prompt, and does not conatain
any frames. If that is the case and the only output
the program creates is by using System.out then it
logical you don't see anything using javaw. javaw is a
program that hides the dos-box on a windows machine.
This prevents users from seeing it wich makes a
frame/window'ed application look more professional. So
if you only have output to the console you don't see
it because it is hidden.
Hope This Helps You,
Robert
