I am a newbie at a Java IDE called BlueJ (www.bluej.org). I have come
across the problem that I do not know how to send arguments to the
program in BlueJ, but I do know how to send arguments using a command
line prompt. Could someone give me some advice?

Thanks in advance,
Edward Rice

Command line starting of a program calls the public static void
main(String[]) mothod. You can do this in BlueJ by right-clicking the
class's icon and selecting the main method. Bluej then presents you with a
dialog where you can specify the contents of the array. Type the arguments
in between the braces, remembering to put commas between them and to put
every String value in double-quotes like this:
{"arg1","arg 2", "arg three"}
then click OK.
