how to add command line parameters when running java code in Eclipse?

Question

How can I add command line parameters to the JVM in Eclipse? For example, let's say I want to explicitly add -cp argument when running the JVM, is it possible? (I am giving it as an example, I realize I can add an external Jar to the project settings to get an additional classpath.)

The argument I want to add is -agentlib:Shark (on Mac OSx for running a profiler).

You can specify vm arguments when creating a "Run Configuration" in Eclipse. Right-click on your project > Run Configuration > Java Application > Arguments tab.
