How to make Eclipse prompt me for command line arguments

Viewed 30416

I know I can configure command line arguments in the Run configuration but I want to run a java file multiple times with different command line arguments. It's a pain to change the Run Configuration every time.

Is there a way I can make Eclipse prompt me for command line arguments every time I run the program?

Add string_prompt as a Program Argument in the Run configuration.

 ${string_prompt}

There are also a file_prompt and a folder_prompt if you want specifically files\folders.

These are available through the Variables button on the (x)= Arguments tab of the Run Configuration dialog.
