Avoiding cmdprompt popup when starting JMeter?
When I start JMeter by double clicking on jmeter.bat then (under Win7) the (black) well known
command prompt appears at first before the actual GUI shows up.
Is there a way to avoid the popup of the command prompt?

Hopefully most errors will get reported in the jmeter log file as well.
However there may be some errors that are currently not being caught.
If anyone knows of any errors (*) that are only reported to the
console and not the log, please advise, so we can see if it is
possible to capture them.
(*) excluding catastrophic errors such as out of memory and JVM
crashes, which it won't be possible to capture in Java.

In Windows, you can create a shortcut, then edit the shortcut properties to change the program being called.
I set my 'Target' (in the shortcut) to: C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe -Xms512m -Xmx1g -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=512m
-XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -jar "ApacheJMeter.jar"
This allows you to set the JVM memory config, and start JMeter without any command window.
Also, you want to set the 'Start in:' location to match the JMeter 'bin' directory.
That being said, the command window is sometimes helpful - especially when your test plan has a bug in it. Since the errors get
reported in the console window.

You can also try jmeterw.bat - that produces a console window, but it
disappears very quickly.
Note that there are some circumstances where JMeter cannot write
errors to the log file and has to use the console.
[e.g. log directory is not writable, no disk space. There are probably
some other conditions that prevent a log record being written]
Such errors will be lost if there is no console.

Hi Ben,
I always click on the Jmeter jar file instead. Wouldn't that work for you?
