So you save the argument to a static variable using class reference and create a method to retrieve the value (private static String myargument; and public String getArgument() ) Then from the applications main frame you can now call that method once you have changed the constructor a bit (public DesktopApplication1View(DesktopApplication1 app) ).
/**
* The application's main frame.
*/
public class DesktopApplication1View extends FrameView {
public DesktopApplication1View(DesktopApplication1 app) {
super(app);
//Use the argument
System.out.println(app.getArgument);
initComponents();
I know this might not be the optimal solution, but it works. Sometime you just need to create a quick java app without learning the whole language. An app with a basic netbeans guin and some command-line arguments :)
