### Description
Facility to supply command line arguments and JVM options immediately before
running a Java program from Netbeans.
### Use case/motivation
Using Maven (but I suppose this is an issue for other build tools too) to
build and run Java, the command line parameters and VM options of a runnable
project cannot easily be specified before the instance is started.
While this can currently be done, it is a tedious procedure that is buried
away in configurations, involves un-intuitive work-arounds, and may in some
cases (unknown to me at the time of this writing) impose impossible barriers to
conducting effective tests of functionality from the IDE because instances may
have to be started more than once to get everything right.
Hence, I suggest that the IDE be equipped with a menu item ("Run with
arguments...") in the context menu that appears when project is selected.
Selecting this option would afford the developer with an opportunity to supply
arguments and VM options at an appropriate time - just prior to the program is
being run.
I hope this description has been adequate for someone to implement. Thank
you.
