java.exe problem

[Gremlin]

I'm currently writing a basic java IDE and am having problems with the java facility. I can run visual java programs from my application no problem, but anything that is solely text based i.e "Hello world" will not stay on the screen long enough to be read or doesn't appear on the screen at all!

Can anybody help?

Thanks

if you don't write in a pause function of some sort you won't see it, because java is probably executing the program and then the ide is closing the console as soon as it finishes running.. if you go out to dos prompt(or a shell for you unix guys) and run the program the text should come up on the screen.
