Pause not working in batch file

Hello all:



I am trying to put my Maven command in a batch file so I can click
on the icon to run it.



I created this batch file:

mvn exec:exec -Dexec.executable="java"
-Dexec.args="-Djava.library.path=C:\OneDrive\Dev\Jacob -cp %%classpath
com.fiscalassets.tax.PrintForm1098s application.properties.FiscalAssets"



pause



The maven command runs fine and creates the desired output, but the pause
is not working and the window closes before I can read the screen.



If I try putting call before the mvn command:

call mvn exec:exec -Dexec.executable="java"
-Dexec.args="-Djava.library.path=C:\OneDrive\Dev\Jacob -cp %%classpath
com.fiscalassets.tax.PrintForm1098s application.properties.FiscalAssets"



pause



I get an error:

Error: Could not find or load main class com.fiscalassets.tax.PrintForm1098s

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.fiscalassets.tax.PrintForm1098s



but the pause works.



Anyone know what is happening here?



Thank you,

   Neil

That is strange, but it worked.  I would never have thought to quadruple it!

Thank you,

It should more likely be %-quadrupled:

    -cp %%%%classpath

This one (%-tripled) appears to apply when using CALL with an internal 
batch command.

I'm speculating you may need to double escape the % like (%-tripled):

   -cp %%%classpath
