Eclipse Run Configuration

Creating and Using Eclipse Run Configurations

Multiple run configurations can be created in the Run Configuration dialog. Each configuration can be enabled in the application.

The Run Configuration dialog can be invoked by selecting Run Configurations from the Run menu.

To create a run configuration for a Java application, select "Java Application" in the left-hand list and click the New button.

The items described in the dialog include:

• Run Configuration Name

• Project Name

• Main Class Name

The Arguments section includes:

• Program arguments, which can be zero or more

• VM arguments (Virtual Machine arguments), which can be zero or more

The Commons tab provides common configurations, such as options for standard input and output, which can be directed to the console or a specified file.

Click the Apply button to save the run configuration and click the Run button to re-execute the Java application.
