setting java arguments in eclipse

Question

I want to run my java code with below arguments in eclipse.

java -cp "../../" -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=peer01KeyStore.jks  MainCmd -v -p 0 -c config.peer01.properties

So, I clicked "run->run configuration->Java Application->Arguments" and I inputed the long arguments without the first "java" (-cp "../../" -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=peer01KeyStore.jks MainCmd -v -p 0 -c config.peer01.properties) in "Program arguments". But it doesn't work.

The arguments meaning is as follows and I'm not sure them exactly.

-cp "../../" : class path
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=peer01KeyStore.jks : arguments for OpenSSL
MainCmd -v -p 0 -c : main class(MainCmd) with options
config.peer01.properties : configuration file (input file)

I hope how to set the arguments in detail. Thanks in advance.

As you can see there are two boxes: Program arguments and VM arguments. -cp would be VM argument (but better use the Classpath tab), the trust store as well. The rest would be progam arguments but should probably be passed in individual lines. Refer to the eclipse help for details. MainCmd on the other hand is not an argument and would be set in the Main tab. — Thomas

you can get argument from command line into eclipse into following manner, please refer below picture,

And for class path there is another separate tab provided by eclipse into same window where we are entering argument, beside argument tab one more tab is "classpath"

First, Split your arguments as program arguments and VM arguments.

For example; (I think)

Program Argument:

-v -p 0 -c config.peer01.properties

VM argument;

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=peer01KeyStore.jks

Run configuration

Project Properties for classpath, Add libraries or projects to classpath from project properties

There is a separate tab in the Run Configuration for the Classpath.

I am assuming MainCmd is your Main class. There are basically two types of arguments.

Program arguments are arguments passed to your program and available in the args array of your main method

public static void main(String[] args)

These are to be set in Program Arguments box above. For you those will be

-v -p 0 -c config.peer01.properties

And then there are VM arguments. VM arguments are passed to the virtual machine and are designed to instruct the VM to do something.

These are to be set in VM arguments box above. For you those will be

-cp "../../" -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=peer01KeyStore.jks
