How to Pass Console Arguments to Application in Eclipse

How to pass console arguments to application in eclipse?

Instead of just hitting the "Run" icon, select the dropdown box next to it, and choose "Run Configurations". Find your application (or create a Run Configuration for it) and put the command line arguments in the "Arguments" tab. See the docs for more information. It should look like this:

Eclipse : how we take arguments for main when run

In Eclipse you can set up a Run Configuration for the Java Application. Click on the green "play" button in the Launch toolbar (next to the bug icon which starts debugging).

Within that configuration, you can set the working directory and command line arguments - and even prompt the user for command line arguments when it's run, using arguments like ${string_prompt:Foo}.

Pass arguments to program in Eclipse QUICKLY

In eclipse it is possible to create Run configurations per project & adding arguments, like you've been doing so far. After you've created your configuration you can easily find it by clicking the down arrow next to the Run button. Here you can select the configuration to run, and it will run it with the arguments you've provided in that configuration.

You could also do something like this, not sure if this is the best way to do it it's just something I thought of:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    if (args.length == 0) {
        // If no arguments are provided run it with these ones
        myCustomMain(new String[] { "argument" });
    } else {
        // If arguments are provided run it with those arguments
        myCustomMain(args);
    }
}

public static void myCustomMain(String[] args) {
    // Do stuff with the arguments
}

You could even go as far as using the Scanner class to write code which will ask you for the arguments when you run your program

Eclipse Plugin: Passing command line arguments

The jars required in your plugin must be listed in the MANIFEST.MF in the Bundle-Classpath entry.

To do this open the MANIFEST.MF editor, on the 'Runtime' tab add the jars to the 'Classpath' section.

The result might look something like:

The '.' entry is for the plugin files, I then have 3 jars in a 'lib' folder.

Also make sure the jars are listed in the 'build.properties' file so that they are included in the final plugin jar.

Running a Java program in Eclipse as if from command line

You need to go to: Run Configuration > Argument > Program argument. Then copy and paste

 "inputFile.txt" "inputFile2.txt"

inside the box.

Running program arguments through Eclipse IDE

Values in the 'Program Arguments' section of the Run Configuration are passed to the program in the args parameter of main.

You can specify a file containing the input in the 'Standard Input and Output' section on the 'Common' tab of the Run Configuration.
