Hello Eclipse Experts:

Please help me first chance you get, as I'm stuck and need to get this
done before Friday. Although, if you have a good solution, it'll still be
useful after then, too!!

(a) how do I do "stdin". When I run on terminal, it's easy.
what output I get, I just type in a response and hit enter (win/linux).
How do I do this in eclipse?

(b) how do I pass arguments to main before running? I would prefer not
to edit each time I need to run? Would also like to avoid some test
package (if at all possible).

(c) note that I'm on oxygen now and will most likely move to neon.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

Any Java application you run will result in a Launch configuration being created and the running application will generally be associated with a Console that works just like a terminal where you can see what's printed and can enter data. Via Run -> Run Configurations... you can configure the launch configuration, i.e., to add arguments or VM arguments.

Note that Oxygen is newer than Neon so better you stick with Oxygen.
