Also, how can I run from the Command Prompt a program, let's say
ForDemo.class that was created in eclipse inside, let's say, project03?
If in the Command Prompt I go inside the folder project03 and try to run
the program with
C:\...\project03>java ForDemo
it doesn't work because of the package command at the beginning...

Hi Charlie.
I am afraid your info is not sufficient. Let me go through my exact steps:
The programs is:
========
package chapter06;
public class PassData
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
if (args.length > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++)
{
System.out.println("args[" + i + "] is " + args[i]);
}
}
}
}
========
So, having the program open in the Editor, I click Run / Run... On the
left hand pane PassData is highlighted. On the right hand pane I click
the Arguments tab; I chick the button [Variables...] that's under "VM
arguments:". In the Argument text field I write: One two three, and
click OK. Back in the Run dialog I click [Run], and then I get the
following alert:
========
Launching
Variable references non-existent resource: ${built_project: Java is fun}
[OK]
========
The built_project had been highlighted in the previous dialog but I
hadn't done anything about it because I didn't have the slightest idea
what it was. Java is fun had been arguments I had used in some other
program, I don't remember which.
Can you give me more explicit directions on how to run the program?
Thanks,
Eustace

Hi Eustace,
You want to use "program arguments" not "VM arguments".

It doesn't work either. This time I get the alert

Maybe I should select another variable above? -emf

The reason you "didn't have the slightest idea what it was" is because
you just need a little training in the tool. You don't need to be using
the Variables... feature to pass simple arguments to your program; just
type them in to the Program Arguments box.
I strongly recommend you open the Help Contents, navigate to Java
Development User Guide > Getting Started, and go through the tutorials
that are there. Also the tutorials under the Workbench User Guide section.
If you spend just an hour or two with that material, it will save you
many hours of confusion and frustration and questions later.
Hope this helps,
Eric

I used eclipse last semester, and during the intersession I read through
a small paperback on eclipse I found, but it was not really very
helpful. My impression on eclipse is that it is a far too complicated
piece of software, so I decided to just continue using it as I've been
using it until now, and ask questions here for specific problems as they
arise to enhance my knowledge of it. I saw that there is a bigger and
better book, but that will have to wait for the right time in the
future. Somehow my experience with tutorials included in software is
that they are not very helpful, though I always try to solve problems by
using the software help, and I did so, unsuccessfully, this time too.
I really thought that my problem was quite simple, and could be solved
with 3 or 4 simple steps. Or, perhaps, by pointing me to the right -
specific - direction within the Help...

Hi Eustace,
You are correct to post this type of question to a newsgroup, especially
a "newcomer" group.

OK! Problem solved! That's how: I went to B&N and saw in a book the Run
dialog but it looked different. Mine did not show any text area under
"Program Arguments:"! So I went back home and stretched the dialog
downwards and voilá, the text area appeared! I bet no one of the experts
over here had thought of this possibility. There is always something new
to learn. -emf

Your problem was a simple mistake, and I gave the following instructions
to correct your mistake:
"You don't need to be using the Variables... feature to pass simple
arguments to your program; just type them in to the Program Arguments box."
Aside from that, you have to understand that these newsgroups are a
volunteer community where people try to help each other. If you come in
and ask very basic questions but are not willing to spend a little of
your own time to properly learn the tool, well you're not always going
to get a lot of help. I was simply urging you to spend an hour or two to
educate yourself so that you don't have to wait for some kind soul to
answer your posts.
Nobody can force you to use the tutorials, and of course you are welcome
to keep posting questions. But do not be surprised if you get answers
that urge you to read more or do a little investigation on your own.
Again, specific advice was given to solve your problem, followed by a
gentle suggestion. Your response to that suggestion does not encourage
me to answer more questions in the future.
Eric

See answer to myself above. I only solved the problem when I saw a
picture of how the dialog should look like, and thought of stetching it.
Then I realized why I hadn't got the answer I expected in the group: The
answer I did get from Charlie assumed that I was seeing the same dialog
he was seeing, and I assume he didn't imagine that I wasn't.
As I said I spent more than a couple of hours reading a paperback on
eclipse through. As I said, eclipse is pretty complex and its help files
are pretty complex too. It would have been more helpful if you had
guided me to a particular part of the manual, or a particular page of
the help files. My problem was particular; I've been using eclipse for a
few months, so I basically have it do what I want it too, but there are
a few things that I couldn't or can't do, and for these *particular*
issued I ask here, so asking me to go through the whole manual is a
rather indirect way of solving my particular problems.

I *did* point to a particular section: namely, the Java Development User
Guide, Getting Started, Tutorial.
If you want an exact pointer to a particular page, well it would be
easier to just tell you the answer (which I did!). For one, pointing to
a specific page does not encourage you to read the whole tutorial, which
is a valuable resources. Second, it is not easy to point to a specific
Help page because we don't see the URLs of the help pages and they are
local to your machine
Anyway, keep complaining about the free help you get and see how much of
it you get in the future. Have you done the tutorial yet? You yourself
admit that Eclipse is complex, and yet you want to use it productively
without the help of the tutorial - that seems a bit conflicting. Really,
it is only an hour or so and you'll learn a lot, I promise.
