How to pass an argument to a standalone java class in JDeveloper

Question

To the experienced:
In JDeveloper when you write a java class with a main() method that takes no argument, you just right click the java file and select Run to run the program. But suppose the main() method takes arguments, how do you pass your arguments to the program? This is especially a problem as I use the studio version of JDeveloper (Versions 10.1.3.4 and 11.1.1.3) that each uses the version of JDK bundled with it, rather than the JDK (which is yet another different version) installed at the OS level of the PC.
Many thanks for your help!

Hi, Puthanampatti,
Suppose a java class has a main() method:
<pre>
public class FormatTerm {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String year = args[0];
String semester = args[1];
</pre>
What I want to know is how to pass the arguments when invoking FormatTerm within JDeveloper (i.e., without going out of JDeveloper to invoke FormatTerm on a command line in DOS). I would appreciate it very much if you know how to do that in JDeveloper 11g (I use Version 11.1.1.3) and could help me out.
Thank you very much for your help!
