Comman line invocation of Java application [message #226642]

Folks,

Suppose I have developed within Eclipse a simple Java application with a
main method that requires input from standard input and that outputs to
standard output. It has been run successfully as a Java application
from within Eclipse.

Without copying individual files to some other directory, and keeping
intact the existing project directory structure in my workspace, I want
to run the application outside of Eclipse with a command line invocation
to java, passing the appropriate command line arguments.

Is there any way I can extract this invocation from within Eclipse, to
use on a command line window like a bash shell in Linux or a DOS window
in Windows?

If I cannot extract the invocation from within Eclipse, how may I
assemble it otherwise?

Thanks.

Chandra

Hello,

The only place I know where the complete command line of the invocation
is shown is in the debugger.

- set some breakpoint in your app
- run it using the debugger
- in the 'Debug' view, right click on the thread
- select 'Properties'
- this should give you the command that was used to invoke the app

HTH,

Michael Pellaton

Thank you. That worked.

I needed to modify the extracted command line as follows:

1. Change the executable from javaw to java for Windows;
2. Remove the following options from the command line:

-Xdebug -Xnoagent
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,suspend=y,address=localhost:16 80

The resulting command then ran just like any Java application invoked
from the command line.

There's something else you can do: create a Jar with all the classes in
them and a manifest that contains a proper Class-Path and Main-Class.
You then still have to provide JVM and other command line arguments but
you can invoke it with

java -jar -X... your.jar arg1 arg2

Kind regards

Robert,

I exported the project as a JAR (ensuring that the package and relevant
class were recognized) and invoked the program with

java -jar <full_path_to_.jar_file>

and it worked perfectly.

Thank you.
