Description

If you run javaws (IcedTea-Web 1.8) from the command line on Windows, all output is written to the command window. Redirection of stdout or stderr have no effect on the output. This makes it difficult to make use of the output of javaws for debugging.

Note: The Linux version of IcedTea-Web 1.8 behaves correctly.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the javaws command on Windows with stdout and stderr redirection, then inspect the command-line output handling entry point. Compare the behavior with the Linux version of IcedTea-Web 1.8; done means javaws output can be redirected on Windows for debugging.
