Java – Eclipse command line arguments

eclipsejava

I understand how to run my application with command line arguments using the run configuration menu.

The problem I have is that no matter what I update these command line arguments to, eclipse does not reflect these updates when I execute the code.

so far I have set the arguments to:

test1.txt test2.txt dfs

and this will print:

args[0] = test1.txt
args[1] = test2.txt
args[2] = dfs

but if I update the arguments and re-run it, the arguments won't update

How can I "reset" the arguments and re-run the application using the updated arguments.

The above and below both function correctly and it was in fact eclipse that was causing me issues. The problem was resolved with a simple restart of eclipse.

Thanks all.
