Other than moving your source input file, you may consider changing the working directory for launching the application.

By setting "Run Configurations" > [The RUN] > "Arguments" Tab > "Working directory" from "${workspace_loc:[Project Name]}" to something else like "${workspace_loc:[Project Name]}/Release", which is the usual binary target directory for Eclipse would do.
