How to pass the -D Sytem properties while testing on Eclipse?

Question

I am developing on Eclipse on Windows and Code gets deployed on Unix. I am fething the system property values using System.getProperty("key") ... how do I pass this in Eclipse so that I do not have to modify the code and it works on Eclipse for debugging?

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Run -> Run configurations, select project, second tab: “Arguments”. Top box is for your program, bottom box is for VM arguments, e.g. -Dkey=value.

Answer 2

You can add command line arguments to your run configuration. Just edit the run configuration and add -Dmyprop=value (or whatever) to the VM Arguments Box.
