You can add to your Debug Configuration, in the (x)=Arguments tab, a VM argument with the properties you want.

java -Darg1=foo1 -Darg2=foo2  -Darg3=foo3 com.MyClass 

, for you to get their properties.
But if you have so many of them you need a file, then, without an ant execution wrapper, you need to pass that 'file.properties' file (this time as a "Program argument") to your program, and read it]2 (but directly within your code).
