java 在主线程运行吗,如何在Java中与主线程分开运行线程？

The goal is to be able to invoke execution of a separate thread from within the main class.

Some context:

I have a program that must run a process.

The process (a cmd one) should run only when the main program is done executing and is unloaded from memory.

What code should I include in the main class?

If you mean: how can I start a Java thread that will not end when my JVM (java program) does?.

The answer is: you can't do that.

Because in Java, if the JVM exits, all threads are done. This is an example:

class MyRunnable implements Runnable {

public void run() {

while ( true ) {

doThisVeryImportantThing();

}

}

}

The above program can be started from your main thread by, for example, this code:

MyRunnable myRunnable = new MyRunnable();

Thread myThread = new Thread(myRunnable);

myThread.start();

This example program will never stop, unless something in doThisVeryImportantThing will terminate that thread. You could run it as a daemon, as in this example:

MyRunnable myRunnable = new MyRunnable();

Thread myThread = new Thread(myRunnable);

myThread.setDaemon(true); // important, otherwise JVM does not exit at end of main()

myThread.start();

This will make sure, if the main() thread ends, it will also terminate myThread.

You can however start a different JVM from java, for that you might want to check out this question:
