In linux you can easily do it with :

java -jar myjar.jar &

Under windows you can try using the javaw instead of java :

javaw -jar myjar.jar

Otherwise you will need Apache Commons Daemon service or daemon wrapper.

Thank you very much. I needed command for Windows. It works ^_^

@EJP Yep. I don't need daemon thread exactly. Just wanna start app in background.
