Hello,
 I understand how people normally would pass arguments to a program using
the command line using the Main method, but when using Swing people seem to
recommend starting the application in its own thread as shown below:

   public static void main(String args[]) {

       java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
           public void run() {
               new myJavaApplication().setVisible(true);
           }
       });
   }

Normally, one could simply use args[] as an array, but since the
myJavaApplication is "encased" in an "invokeLater" internal method, I don't
see how to pass args to the application itself in any useful manner.  Does
anyone have any suggestions for a way around this?
Regards,
Kurt

Normal way of using args (a possibility that's not possible using entrance
above):

  if(null == args || args.length < 1) {
     System.exit(1);
  }
  new myJaveApplication(args[0]);
