Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1

Hi Guys,

I'm creating this program called CommandLineArguments out of this book. Its giving me the same error as before

"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1".

This program is supposed to execute and output
args.length = 3
args[0] = 1
args[1] = 2
args[2] = abcde
when I type in "java CommandLineArguments 1 2 abcde" from the command line, but stops me and lets me know that I have an error. What am I missing? Here is my code.

public class CommandLineArguments {


public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("args.length= " + args.length);
System.out.println("args[0]= " + args[0]);
System.out.println("args[1]= " + args[1]);
System.out.println("args[2]= " + args[2]);
}

}

You sure you aren't adding any extra arguments on the command line by mistake? I just copy and pasted your code, compiled it, and supplied the args 1 2 abcde and got

args.length= 3
args[0]= 1
args[1]= 2
args[2]= abcde

as expected.

I am running it in eclipse and getting the error. Would that make a difference?

I have no experience with eclipse, but I'd imagine it requires you to do something else when using cmd args since using cmd to compile and run works fine. Someone who has experience with eclipse will be around sooner or later to tell you what you have wrong.
