javaw process keeps running even though the application is killed

843798May 1 2008 — edited May 1 2008
The scenario is like this:

I execute the java code using a bat file which uses javaw to execute a jar file. To avoid showing the command window, I used the command "start javaw". Everything looks good. I kill the GUI of the application and everything seems to have worked fine.

However, if I check the currently running processes, I still see the javaw process running. Why does it not get killed? and what to do to kill this process, when I close the application GUI?

Thanks
Deepak
