Through Application.launch() allows to pass command line arguments to the method, BUT there is no direct way to have access to those arguments from within Application.launch().

Suggestions :

- Either add accessor methods in Application to get access to a String[] or UnmodifiableList<String> or Set<String> that contains those arguments.

- or make the Application class try various constructor for the initialization of the child class before defaulting to the constructor without argument.

ie :

public class Main extends Application {
   public Main (String[] args) {...}

 /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application.launch(Main.class, args);
    }
}

or

public class Main extends Application {
   public Main (String... args) {...}

 /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application.launch(Main.class, args);
    }
}

or

public class Main extends Application {
   public Main (List<String> args) {...}

 /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application.launch(Main.class, args);
    }
}

or

public class Main extends Application {
   public Main (Set<String> args) {...}

 /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application.launch(Main.class, args);
    }
}


Currently the only way to have access to the command line arguments is to store them in a static member of the class.
