Debugging run configuration [message #1698624]

New to Eclipse and Java Dev here. But I would like to know more about what is Eclipse doing when you click on "Run". I can setup the run configurations, and run my module to run, and see output in Eclipse. But I would like to also do the same from the command line outside Eclipse. Is there a way to see what command the "Run" button creates? Also to be able to debug that the run configuration is correct.

Where is this possibly documented also?

Hey Douglas,

Eclipse uses the parameter from run configuration to start the java executable. You can use your task manager to check the command line parameter of the java.exe. Did I get this right?

That sounds like it might be what I want. I mean if I design something in Eclipse, how do I move the app out of eclipse and run it from the command line?

But I am not sure what is the task manager? Where do I find the task manager?

No (OS-specific) task manager necessary. Just open the "Debug" view in Eclipse, select the second node (which should be labelled by the path to your JVM), right-click "Properties" and see the "Command Line" section.

Hey,

if you are finished with your java application, you could export it as runnable jar (that would be the easiest way for you right know Smile

). Select the project and right click on in -> Export -> Runnable Jar File
Once you've created the jar file, you can start it with java -jar myapp.jar from command line.

@Stephan Thanks for the info, I didn't know about this view Smile
