The thread that calls Bootstrap.main() ends up waiting for input on the
shutdown port - which a thread dump would easily show you.

You appear to have missed that startup.bat kicks off catalina.bat in a separate
process.

You shouldn't really be doing it that way, but disabling the shutdown port in
your server.xml might work.

Use the Tomcat class; Embedded is deprecated. Read the Javadoc for
org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat. You could also try launching Tomcat in a
separate process, rather than inside the JVM you're already using.

Can't provide help without specifics.
