How to run program in background

Question

I use Windows 8.1, I start program instance by command line. There is this line

java -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jenkins.war" --ajp13Port=-1 --httpPort=8082

Program starts and everything is all right. But i want to hide console from task menu. Is it possible to run program by command line in this way?

You can use [`javaw` instead of `java`](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1997718/difference-between-java-exe-and-javaw-exe) to start the application without a console window. — Jesper, May 19 '15 at 15:12

You could use

1) javaw - java without console window to start your application

or

2) start /b *command* - to start a background task
