# Specifying Program Arguments

You can pass command-line arguments to a standalone project's main method when you load the project for debugging or when you run the project.

To pass arguments to a standalone project:

1. Click the Project's button on the JDE main toolbar.
2. Choose Project -> Edit.
3. Click the Run tab.
4. Type the arguments in the Program Arguments box.
   Type the arguments as if you were typing them on the command line. Do not include the program name. If the argument includes a space, enclose it in quotation marks (for example, `"arg 1"`).
5. Click OK.
