start program from bash script

I have a batch file for windows containing following: 

start "" javaw -jar %~p0/app.jar

How to get the same command in a Bash script?

I assume its a Java Swing (GUI based) app. You should be able to execute it using this:

cd /path/to/app
java -jar myApp.jar

Simply paste this code as it is in your bash script. The "cd" should take care of path issues. Do note, that the terminal will be freed only when the Java app is exited.

root=`dirname "$0"` # in case if I got %~p0
nohup javaw -jar "$root/app.jar" &

starts javaw in background.
