Show Java Console in Windows Application
Jul 7th, 2009, 6:13pm  
Hi, i am wanting to get at the windows equivalent of the console - to see my apps output (println/print statements, exceptions etc), when im running a standalone application (export to application)

I can work out how to turn it on for an applet/browser but not an application.

Any tips appreciated.

Setup:
* JRE 1.6.0_14 - Installed
* Processing 1.0.5 Standard (with JAVA) - Installed
* XP Pro - SP3

Ta,
Adam.

Just start the application from the command line?
It works at least with java -jar foo.jar c.p.ClassName
Not sure for .exe generated by Processing. You can use a logger too.

Thanks for that.  Am having some trouble with the classpath arg, but will persevere.

An easy way is to use -Djava.ext.dirs=<path to Processing libs> as Java will include recursively all classes it will find there.
