Answer 1

Just run the way you would run a regular Java program, in a loop:

public class MyProgram {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       // your infite, of finite loop goes here
   }
}

And then, just run it, and if there are not unhandled exceptions, it will run all night indeed.

Answer 2

Eclipse is a development environment, not an application manager. It's not well suited for what you're asking to do. It might be best to learn what those parameters are and why you need them, and write a batch file to handle them for you. There might be a better answer if you provide more details.

Answer 3

Wrap your main in a call to Runtime.exec and put that in a loop.

public static void main(String args[]){
     while(true){
          Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java yourclasshere");
          try{
               proc.waitFor();
          } catch (InterruptedException e) {}
     }
}
