How java.exe and javaw.exe are used in Eclipse?
eclipse, java
Solution
The Eclipse launcher uses javaw internally to launch Eclipse. You can see the settings in eclipse.ini file in your installation. This lets you easily identify Eclipse in the list of processes in the task manager instead of seeing another Java process.
When you Run/Debug Java programs inside Eclipse, it defaults to using Java to launch another jvm, but I believe you can set it to use javaw if need. Some launchers use javaw by default, I think the Tomcat launcher (in WTP) is one of them.
Problem
I know the use of java.exe and javaw.exe in command console, but how are they used in Eclipse?
