I have a couple of .properties files I want Eclipse to pick up. According to the directions to install ESAPI it says I can add them to my project by doing the following:
In Eclipse I am going to Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs
From there I select my only option jre7 and click the Edit... button.
In the Default VM Arguments: box I have typed the following:
-D org.owasp.esapi.resources="c:\.esapi"
Yet when I try to run my project I get the following error:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.owasp.esapi.resources=c:\.esapi
Even though the directory and files are right there. I've tried other locations with no luck. Any thoughts?
UPDATE: When I try:
-Dorg.owasp.esapi.resources="c:\.esapi"
I just get this output as if it does not like the option used:
Usage: javaw [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or javaw [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
where options include:
-d32 use a 32-bit data model if available
-d64 use a 64-bit data model if available
-server to select the "server" VM
-hotspot is a synonym for the "server" VM [deprecated]
The default VM is server.

-D org.owasp.esapi.resources="c:\.esapi"
^
See that space between -D and the rest? Remove that.
-Dorg.owasp.esapi.resources="c:\.esapi"
-D isn't followed by a space, but rather directly by the thing you wish to define.
