| <h1> |
| Setting execution arguments |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| If you want to specify execution arguments for your program, you must |
| define a launch configuration that specifies the arguments. |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select <strong>Run >Run...</strong> |
| (or <strong>Run >Debug...)</strong> from the workbench <strong>Run</strong> |
| menu to open the list of launch configurations. Launch |
| configurations for Java programs are shown underneath <strong>Java |
| Application </strong>in this list. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Create a new launch |
| configuration by pushing the <strong>New</strong> button after selecting |
| <strong>Java Application</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| On the <strong>Arguments</strong> tab for the configuration, you can |
| specify the following fields as necessary: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Program Arguments</strong>: Application-specific values that your code is expecting (a user name or a URL for locating help files, for |
| example). |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>VM Arguments</strong>: Values meant to change the behavior of the Java virtual machine (VM). For example, you may need to tell the VM whether |
| to use a just-in-time (JIT) compiler, or you may need to specify the maximum heap size the VM should use. Refer to your VM's documentation for more information |
| about the available VM arguments. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Working Directory</strong>: The working directory used for the launched process. To change from using the default working directory, uncheck |
| <strong>Use default working directory</strong> and specify the workspace or local directory to use for the working directory of the launched process. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>Apply</strong> or <strong>Close</strong> when you are done. Every time you launch this configuration, these execution |
| arguments will be used. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
