Windows and bat files

Question

Hi
I've made some bat files to compile java sources and run the program.
After the termination of the program i want the bat file to stop and let me see the messages on console but it closes automatically.
I tried put pause at the end of the bat file but it does not work.
Just after finish the java program the console exits and never executes the pause command.
Why ?
how Can I do ?

Answer 1

I tried this one windows XP and it worked fine:
Test program: public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     System.out.println("Test program running");
     System.exit(1);
}Batch file (called runtest.bat): java -classpath c:\temp Test
pauseThen I created a shortcut to "runtest.bat". It opened a console window and paused with this output: C:\temp>java -classpath c:\temp Test
Test program running
C:\temp>pause
Press any key to continue . . .How are you running the batch file? Is it from a shortcut on Windows, or from a third party tool, like an editor?
What is the command line you're using to run the batch file?
