CMD Issue

[Gee]

I want to create a batch file to:

Launch a Executable Jar file (the program is ran in CMD, so I want the CMD to be open and run it, all by clicking the batch file) or to launch a .java, but I can change that myself.
Then, I want the CMD to stay open, rather than closing.

Any idea how I can do this?

All the ways I've tried seem to just close as soon as they pop up, so when I launch it, the CMD just pops up & I see the program and it closes.
I want to be able to keep the CMD up until I want to close it, not using the CMD function 'pause', as when I use this, upon pressing a key it closes.

cmd has a /K option that starts a new instance of the command interpreter, carries out a specified command and then remains rather than terminates. You can see all of the options by typing the following at the command prompt:

cmd /?

So you could try one or other of the following (note that it is a class that is launched not a .java file)

cmd /K java -cp . MainClass args here
cmd /K java -jar app.jar args here

"command cmd not recognised as internal or external command" blah blah blah :/

That's the .jar file if anyone wants to try :)
