If you are facing similar problem,it has to do with the "Run Configurations" not working properly in Eclipse.

Please right clik on your java class containing the main method .Go to Run As-> Run Configurations and put the correct patrameters.Project should be the Project which contains the main class and Main class should be fuly qualified class name.See the snapshots below for clarity.It should wok fine then.Basically,you are creating a Run configuration and you can use that saved configuration for later use also.
