Because in a Windows program, the output sent to System.out could be just log messages for developers. This goes to Java Console.  We run our in house programs in webstart.  Java Console is normally hidden for end users.

javaw.exe is the GUI default, what you should want if you double click a jar.
java.exe is the old method, if you want the user to interact in a command window.
