How to pass command line argument through IDE?

[Rakesh shankar]

Hi,

How do we pass command line argument, when we are executing through IDE.
Currently I'm using NaviCoder IDE.

Thanks in advance,

Haven't tried NaviCoder. I use Eclipse instead... There is an option of Run configurations under Run menu. It also appears under Run As of the menu that appears on right-click of the main class.
Under Run Configurations go to tab arguments. here you can specify the command line arguments for your program.

See if there is anything called Run Configurations in NaviCoder as well.

In general, IDEs have some kind of a dialog box that lets you specify information about how to run your program. The dialog will let you set command-line arguments along with JVM arguments, environment variables, etc.

I went and Googled this "NaviCoder" -- thanks for the laugh, by the way, more on this later -- and it looks like this "Setting Run Profile Command" panel may let you add arguments, although I can't tell for sure:

Anyway, despite that website's claim that NaviCoder is powerful and popular and wonderful, I've never heard of it, and the online manual makes it look positively dreadful. There are many better choices available -- don't torture yourself trying to make this toy IDE work if it's preventing you from doing something as simple as adding command-line arguments to a program. Eclipse, NetBeans, or for beginners, BlueJ (all these are easily Google-able) are industry standards and are all fine pieces of software.

If you really are a beginner, don't use an IDE at all.

I think this discussion would sit better on our IDEs forum: moving.

Yup, I didn't heard of this NaviCoder as well.
Eclipse is more than enough for me...
