I found a solution on Stack Overflow for Java program run configurations which also works for JUnit run configurations      You can get the full command executed by your configuration on the   Debug tab  or more specifically the Debug view          Run your application   Go to your Debug perspective   There should be an   entry in there  in the Debug View  for the app you ve just executed   Right-click the node which references java exe or javaw exe and   select Properties In the dialog that pops up you ll see the Command   Line which includes all jars  parameters  etc
