To reproduce the problem:

Expected and Actual Behavior

I expect to see a splash image followed by the console window. What I see instead is that the splash never finishes. There is never a console.

Platform

BeanShell 2.0b5 as provided by Maven Central repository running in JDK 1.8.0_51 (64-bit) on Window 7 Professional Service Pack 1.

Additional information

The problem occurs when running from a Command window, double clicking the jar and even from the command line in Cygwin. The exact same jar works just fine on JDK 1.7.0_u75.
