Eclipse reading stdin (System.in) from a file

Question

Is it possible for Eclipse to read stdin from a file?

Answer 1

2015 update

There is a new Eclipse version, Eclipse 4.5 (Mars) which has fixed the issue!

This is the announcement and description of the feature: http://eclipse.org/mars/noteworthy/#_assigning_stdin_to_a_file

Stdin can now be assigned to a file in the Common tab of launch configuration dialogs.

As expected, this is a new feature of the just released eclipse 4.5 and will therefore not work in an older version.
