How to run the same java program with different command line arguments from a file

Question

I want to run a java program SampleProgram.java 10 times with different parameters. I checked running the java program from .bat file. My question is that is it possible to run the same program SampleProgrammultiple times like the following :

java -jar SampleProgram.jar argument1 argument2
java -jar SampleProgram.jar argument3 argument4
java -jar SampleProgram.jar argument5 argument6

Will writing the above lines in a batch file, testRun.bat and running runTest.bat run the java programs with different arguments?

Of course it would. Also, why can't you just try this out yourself? — user1231232141214124

I was doing a basic research on if this is possible. And I didn't find much useful links. So I thought of asking the question. — cmm user

Ok, but whats stopping you just running it yourself and finding out? It takes longer to type out your question than it does to try it yourself — user1231232141214124

You probably need to launch them with start /B to launch them in background otherwise your batch will launch them sequentially instead of launching them in parallel. So try this:

start /B java -jar SampleProgram.jar argument1 argument2
start /B java -jar SampleProgram.jar argument3 argument4
start /B java -jar SampleProgram.jar argument5 argument6

As it is done in this answer.
