title: Launch .jar files with command line arguments (but with no console window)
body: <p>I have to do a demo of an application, the application has a server.jar and client.jar. Both have command line arguments and are executable. I need to launch two instances of server.jar and two instances of client.jar.</p>
  
  <p>I thought that using a batch file was the way to go, but, the batch file executes the first command (i.e. >server.bat [argument1] [argument2]) and does not do anything else unless I close the first instance, in which case it then runs the 2nd command. And also the I do not want a blank console window to open (or be minimized)</p>
  
  <p>What I really need is a batch script that will just launch these apps without any console windows and launch all instances that I need.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in Advance!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>

  <blockquote>
    <p>works if I type the command
    into the console window individually.
    If I put the same in the batch file,
    it will behave as before. Console
    window opens, one instance starts
    (whichever was first) and it does not
    proceed further unless I close the
    application in which case it runs the 2nd command. I want it to run all commands silently</p>
