Batch script pauses on exception, possible to continue automatically?

I have the following snippet in a batch file to run a program with an argument in a loop:

for /F "tokens=*" %%a in (some-list.txt) do (
    java -jar some-java-package.jar com.example.package.class %%a
)

Sometimes the Java application crashes on a memory exception (this could be an important point, because according to my current programming experience these seem to be special exceptions and I was not able to catch them like I would catch normal exceptions in program code).

In such a case it seems my batch script pauses until I take action: I can press Ctrl-C and on batch's question if I want to stop the batch job respond N, then it will continue with the next program call.

Is it possible to tell batch to go on in such events automatically?

You should call java using the start command like this:

for /F "tokens=*" %%a in (some-list.txt) do (
    start "" /WAIT "java" -jar some-java-package.jar com.example.package.class %%a
)

The /WAIT switch lets start wait until the application (java) has finished execution.
The "" portion defines the window title (this is defined here since start sometimes confuses it with the command line when no title given).
