Analogous to the $? in Linux, is there a way to get the exit status of a program in a Windows batch file (.bat)?
Say for example the program has a System.exit(0) upon successful execution, and a System.exit(1) upon a failure, how do I trap these exit values in a .bat file?

Use %ERRORLEVEL%. Don't you love how batch files are clear and concise? :)
