#Open CMD in .jar file (Windows)

Every project that I do in Java, nowadays, I compile without a UI. It's not a problem to create a .bat file to run my jar in the CMD, but:

I wonder if I can "emulate" the terminal inside my .jar file... So the user just double clicks my .jar and play my game or application.

Might help:
Have you ever opened a server.jar from Minecraft? Kinda like that. We have all the UI but in the right we have the terminal. Executing the tasks... opening the world etc.

This, in the right, is the terminal. Right?

That's a JTextArea

#

You use setOut and setErr to pass the print calls over to the area

#

And to make it vertically scrollable, you put the JTextArea in a JScrollPane

Use whatever you find comfortable.

#

By the way

#

If you want to see how the console log in JTextArea works, I posted a 7z file to a source of a downloader which does exactly this, in #1020064092196716614

#

you might wanna take a peek at how it was done and get the general gist of it
