I tried to start a program using javaw demo and I was prompted with an error message saying that command 'javaw' is not found. I checked my bin folder and javaw was not found. What could be the reason?

回答1:

The javaw utility is not available or needed on Linux. Just use java instead.

Explanation:

• on Windows, the difference between java and javaw is that java launches a new Windows console and javaw doesn't.

• on Linux, the java command does not launch a new console, and hence there is no need for a javaw variant.
