| <h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=1273">Read the Command Line from a Java Application</a></h2> |
| <p style="margin-left:8px;"> |
| Sometimes it is useful for an application to know what the user specifies on the command line at start up. For example, parts of an application may be unavailable to the user if the correct command line settings have not been specified. In NetBeans 6.0, the NetBeans Command Line Parsing API gives you access to the command line. In this blog entry, Geertjan introduces you to this API and helpful links for further reading.</p> |
