IntelliJ and getting user input

so I'm new to using IntelliJ and I've tried googling but to no avail.

I'm creating a simple java program that basically prints hello and gets the user input (name) and prints it... Just to get the ball rolling. Normal Hello World prints fine..

But as soon as I add any [args] in it just crashes? Is there a way I can type the input in?

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("Hello, " + args[0] + "!");
    }
}
Solution

  • There's an "edit configurations" item on the Run menu. In that panel, you can create a configuration and then you can choose the Class containing main().

    add VM parameters and command-line args, specify the working directory and any environment variables.

    you are done.
