How to run an application with specific arguments

Post by Barb Kline »

Hi. I am using JDK 1.3.1 and am trying to figure out how to run a Java application with certain arguments. I would like to run my applications with certain data but can't seem to get it to work. I know if I were tryping the commands in DOS I would just include the data in quotes. How do I do it in TextPad? Thanks in advance. I am sure it is something simple that I just can't see.

Barb,

you sure have something like "Run Java Application" in Textpad's Tool menu?
Good. Click on the "Tools" entry in the list you get when opening the "Options" menu and then choosing the "Preferences..." item.
Within the tools 'branch' of the tree list click on the "Run Java Application".
Check the "Prompt for parameters" box.
That should do it.

Need to clarify a bit here...

Click on "Configure" from menu bar (not Options menu)
Click on "Preferences" from drop-down box,

Then all is back to normal per Stephan....

Within the Tools 'branch' of the tree list, click on the "Run Java Application". Check the "Prompt for parameters" box.

That should do it.
