My question is a pretty simple one, but one that I failed to find an answer with on Google.

If i'm passing my main method arguments via the run configurations window, I would list them as: a b c

separated by white space. What if one of the arguments is "brown dog" or any string that contains a space. How do I escape that so that "brown dog" passes as one argument?

The same way you just did in your post. You put quotes around it.
