javaw.exe
The javaw.exe command is identical to java.exe, except that with javaw.exe there is no associated console window. This implies you can’t get it to display the version with -version since there is no console to display it on. Use javaw.exe when you don’t want a command prompt window to appear. The javaw.exe launcher will, however, display a dialog box with error information if a launch fails for some reason.

When you assocate *.jar files with either java.exe or javaw.exe you will control whether you can see the console output.
