How to jump from program to exit in windows batch

Question

I am running two batch Java classes fron windows batch file in a sequence. I want to give an option to exit after the first class is run; after the first pause statement.

How do I use jump to terminate the program if the user wants to close it without using the close button on GUI?

Also, can PAUSE e customised to change its default message?

@ECHO off
color 0E


ECHO Running prog.....
ECHO Step 1 commences....

java -cp D:\proj\bin;D:\proj\mysql-connector-java-5.1.12-bin.jar com.Class1

ECHO Please ensure modem is on and press any key!
ECHO Step 2 commences....

PAUSE

:: Give option to exit

java -cp D:\proj\bin com.Class

echo Completed program.....

PAUSE

You can use >nul after the pause so pause>nul to make it not print press any key to continue . . . — Silly

To customize PAUSE's message, you can ECHO the message you wish to display, then pipe PAUSE's output to NUL:

echo Please press any key on your keyboard to continue with this program
pause>nul

To exit your batch file between the two Java program execution, you can do the following:

@ECHO off
color 0E

ECHO Running prog.....
ECHO Step 1 commences....

java -cp D:\proj\bin;D:\proj\mysql-connector-java-5.1.12-bin.jar com.Class1

SET /P __ANSWER_=Do you wish to continue? (y/n)
IF /I %__ANSWER_% EQU N GOTO :EOF

ECHO Please ensure modem is on and press any key!
ECHO Step 2 commences....

PAUSE

:: Give option to exit

java -cp D:\proj\bin com.Class

echo Completed program.....

PAUSE

You can replace the GOTO :EOF command with a GOTO to a specific label if you with to display something to the user before ending the batch file execution.
