Don't use %cd% in batch file

Using "%cd%"\bin\jshell in the batch file means it cannot be called using an absolute path from another directory:
D:\>jshell\jshell.cmd
D:\>"D:\"\bin\jshell -v --start DEFAULT --start PRINTING
The system cannot find the path specified.
What you actually want is:
%~dp0bin\jshell -v --start DEFAULT --start PRINTING
This will insert the full path of the directory that contains the batch file itself:
D:\>jshell\jshell.cmd
D:\>D:\jshell\bin\jshell -v --start DEFAULT --start PRINTING
| Welcome to JShell -- Version 10
| For an introduction type: /help intro
jshell>
For added browny points, add @echo off
as the first line to suppress the commands being echod:
D:\>jshell\jshell.cmd
| Welcome to JShell -- Version 10
| For an introduction type: /help intro
jshell>

Thanks for the input. I've changed the batch file to:
@echo off
"%~dp0bin\jshell" -v --start DEFAULT --start PRINTING
