'java console window not appearing

When starting a Java program e.g.

  Java -cp path/to/ main.class

my application starts, but I don't get a console in Win 8.1. I have set the Java console Switch to show console as Admin. But the console still doesn't show up.

The Java Console is available for applets running with Java Plug-in and applications running with Java Web Start.

If you are running your command from a command interpreter, it will become your console for input and output unless otherwise redirected. If you are using javaw you will have no console.
