Eclipse run configuration to run remotely using a script

I would like to use a run configuration (or something similar) to run a class from Eclipse using a shell script. The shell script will do a bunch of fancy stuff to make the job run on a machine with more memory. That part I开发者_开发知识库 can do.

What I don't know is how to make Eclipse pass the class name and class path to a shell script - and ideally show the output of the shell script in the console window. This seems like it should be simple. I'm using 3.5.2.

Thanks!

I'm not sure of a clever way to pass your classpath to your script, but the External Tools Configurations can do this. And the output will be printed in your console. There are Variables that can be set up to manage your classpath a bit better than I have done below. Though I've used the working directory as my classes folder, so I only need to use . as my classpath.

Variables can be used throughout to set up common paths etc.
