Hello!
Applications "tie" themselves to the console window in a parent/child
relationship. (once the parent goes away, so do all the children!) What you
need to do is detach the process from the terminal. One way of doing this
is to run it as a daemon (if there are other ways, I do not know them ),
which essentially forks a process(which copies the process), and exits that
process, leaving a detached child process(your java app, in this case). It
is somewhat of a nuiscance to do from within java, since you'll need to make
a native call to do so. (going through JNI).
The native portion is only about 6 lines long, and good unix book should be
able to tell you how to do that. I suppose you could avoid the JNI call
altogether by writing a native program that could daemonize any program, and
then calling your program from it via command line. I"ve done both, the JNI
call is a bit cleaner, since it ends up using only one process.
Hope this helps,
Andrew
