How do I make my java application open a console/terminal window?

Question

Is there any way I can make an executable .jar that will open up the command line when double clicked?

So this is my solution, I used the code from @Brandon Barajas and modified it. It creates a batchfile that starts the program by itself.

public static void main(String[] args){
    Console console = System.console();
    if(console == null && !GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()) {
        String filename = YOURMAINCALSS.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toString().substring(6);
        try {
            File batch = new File("Launcher.bat");
            if(!batch.exists()){
                batch.createNewFile();
                PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(batch);
                writer.println("@echo off");
                writer.println("java -jar "+filename);
                writer.println("exit");
                writer.flush();
            }
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start \"\" "+batch.getPath());
        } catch(IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } else {
        //your program code...
    }
}

If you want you can add a writer.println("pause"); before the "exit" print, to keep the window open after the progam finishes. Then you need to hit ENTER to close the window.
