Hi:

Does anyone know how I pass arguments to my Java tool target when I do
Build and Go? I need to pass in a port number (int)?

Thanks,
Jason.

Can you access ARGC, ARGV (i.e. command line arguments) in Java ? If
you can then you can point to the executable in the XCode project
window and do Get Info, there you get a dialog box that allows you to
set command line arguments.

I am a total idiot in Java but I do have a Java app running under
XCode and the above works (but I don't know how to get at the
arguments).

public static void main(string[] args)

It's like C-style argument lists, you could simply hard-code args[0]
or [1] (not sure) to be the port number. But you probably want to use
an automatic library.

If you select Project->Edit Active Executable you will find a page that
lets you enter the command line arguments.

Hope this helps,
