Apologies if this has been asked before, but I could not find a question on it.
How can I configure eclipse to accept three arguments when running my program?
I am used to typing them into the command but eclipse terminal does not seem to let you type anything and the run option does not have an obvious way to put them in.
my program won't run without the arguments because it needs the data from them to do its thing.
Advice would be much appreciated.
This is my run configuration window
I don't think you looked carefully in run configuration, since it's right there under its tab (conveniently called Arguments):
Run -> Run Configurations -> Tab (x)=Arguments
Select your application in the list to the left and add your arguments in the tab "(x) = Arguments"
I don't have Eclipse on this machine, but if I recall correctly, you can do this by right clicking on your project name and select Properties from the popup menu. From there, look for where you can enter the run-time command-line arguments. Be sure you don't accidentally add the arguments for the compiler, though.
