I agree the current behavior is appropriate for a developer.  I was 
thinking more about end users. Similar to your suggestion, should we 
consider adding an option to the startup.sh|bat script to put the 
process in background?  Actually, I'm wondering if the default behavior 
(startup.sh|bat w/o any options) should be geared toward end users and 
would run the process in background.  And specifying the option 
(-foreground) would allow the process to be run in the current window 
for developers.

As you're doing it....could we (you ;)) follow Tomcat's approach where 
start starts an instance in the background and run runs it in the 
foreground? The default option would list the available options.

Of course, windows service and init.d are also useful.  I think both 
proposals are worth pursuing
