How do I pass parameters to a JAR file at the time of execution?

Solution 1:

To pass arguments to the jar:

java -jar myjar.jar one two

You can access them in the main() method of "Main-Class" (mentioned in the manifest.mf file of a JAR).

String one = args[0];  
String two = args[1];

The JAVA Documentation says:

java [ options ] -jar file.jar [ argument ... ]

and

... Non-option arguments after the class name or JAR file name are passed to the main function...

Maybe you have to put the arguments in single quotes.
