Hi Rajjeet,
The dialog box is also shown in the screenshot on the page you linked, but the
screenshot is showing it with the 'Main' tab active. Next to that you see a tab
named 'Arguments'. Switch to that tab. It contains two text areas:
'Program arguments'
Any text you place here is passed as argument to your program and will be
available in the main method's arguments:
public static void main(String... arguments) {
// Program arguments are available as arguments[0], arguments[1]
etc
}
'VM arguments'
Any text you place here is passed as arguments to the Java Virtual Machine. In
the case of -Dxyz arguments, these will be available from anywhere within the
VM by calling System.getProperty:
String xyz = System.getProperty("xyz");
Felix expects a system property named 'felix.config.properties' to be set. So
all you need to do is switch to the Arguments tab and copy-paste the text from
the page you linked into the VM arguments box. This will take care of passing
the argument to the VM, which in turn will set the system property that Felix
expects.
See screenshot below:

Subject: Problems integrating apache felix into eclipse
Hello,
I followed the instructions on the following page:
http://felix.apache.org/site/integrating-felix-with-eclipse.html
and everything is good until I reached this part
Note: Newest Felix versions require to set the felix.config.properties
property. To achieve this, go in the 'arguments' tab and add the following VM
arguments:
-Dfelix.config.properties=file:conf/config.properties
I don't understand how I would install this VM argument. I found the dialog box
in the run configuration but how would I input in the argument?
Thanks in advance,
Rajjeet
