I would like to know if there is a way to execute the "java.exe" as a background process (silent mode execution)

Ex: java -cp . MyClass arg1

I want to run the above statement as a background process , without opening command window

Under Windows, use javaw.exe instead of java.exe. See here for link, relevant bit copied here:

The javaw command is identical to java, except that with javaw there is no associated console window. Use javaw when you don't want a command prompt window to appear. The javaw launcher will, however, display a dialog box with error information if a launch fails for some reason.
