I am running the code below. this runs the two instances of validity.jar as threads and main is not completed. I want to complete the main methods execution with out waiting for the completion of validity.jar. How can i do this?
try
{
int counter = 0;
while(counter <2)
{
counter++;
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar C:\\validity.jar");
}
} // try
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
} // catch
Couldn't you add the jar file to the build-path of your project?
Then make a Thread or Runnable of your main class and start that twice?
public class SomeThread extends Thread {
@Override
public void run(){
try {
System.out.println("Starting thread");
SomeThread.sleep(10000);
System.out.println("Done thread!");
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Start of main");
Thread t = new SomeThread();
t.start();
System.out.println("Finished main");
}
}
.exe of starting your browser simply spawns another thread (the browser) and then finishes. Once finished, your Java thread can continue. Multithreading isn't that hard, and very interesting to read up on.
