javaw.exe not displaying error on failure

OK, I thought this would be a common question, but I can't find much about it.

Suppose I run this command line in Windows:

javaw.exe -jar test.jar


and exception (ClassNotFoundException) occurs in main() method. Now, Oracle documentation states that
the javaw launcher will, however, display a dialog box with error information if a launch fails for some reason. However, there is nothing displayed in this case, javaw just silently dies, leaving you with no clue. To put it bluntly... what up with that?!?
