Hello people,

What do I have to do to make eclipse prompt for command line parameters.

Regards,
Rahul.

I don't think you can make Eclipse prompt for command line parameters.
You can specify them in the "Run..." (or "Debug...") dialogue in the "(x) arguments" tab.

Actually, in my version of eclipse, that tab contains a "Variables..." button. If you click it, you can choose from a huge number of variables, including a number of "..._prompt" variables, which will do exactly what you want.

Thanks, you are right. I've never noticed/used it before. This might come in handy at times.
(Eclipse 3.2.1, but I installed (a test version of) MyEclipseIDE just this week).

I'm not sure if this is kosher, but in this situation where I need easy access to the command line args, I just run my java prog from another helper prog. For instance if I have a main prog called MainProg, I rename the main method to "myMain" and call it from a second Java prog:



and I have a helper class called RunMain (or whatever) that has something like this:



and I have a helper class called RunMain (or whatever) that has something like this:



This way I can change my command line args at will.
String[] commandLineArgs = {"Pete", "Stein", "is", "great!"};
MainProg.myMain(commandLineArgs);
}
}
[/CODE]

This way I can change my command line args at will in the code.
