Exit code of Java program running inside of the Eclipse IDE?

Question

I am developing a Java program using Eclipse that should exit with different codes based on the specific conditions.

if(veryBadError){
    Runtime.getRuntime().exit(10);
}else if(notSoBadError){
    Runtime.getRuntime().exit(5)
}else{
    Runtime.getRuntime().exit(0)
}

Currently I manually run this program from command line and then check exit status, which is ridiculously slow. Is there a way to find out exit code without leaving Eclipse IDE?

Thanks in advance for help!

In Eclipse, if you open up the "Debug Perspective" you should see the result of your execution there (whether you use a Run target or a Debug target). You should see an entry that looks something like:

<terminated, exit value: 10>/usr/local/bin/java (Jun 9, 2011 4:00:00 PM)

Your exit code should be the value after "exit value".
