I know this was possible in earlier versions but for some reason, adding --username=[my username here] and --password[my password here] to the program run arguments doesn't work. Im guessing it has to do with the fact that now you log in with the Dev account. Is there a way to use my own account, and if so how?

That's quite odd. Then what am i doing wrong? Is it not supposed to go in Program arguments in the arguments tab in run configurations? This is what is says(i replaced the username and password for obvious reasons)

How am i supposed to do both those things? Sorry, i cannot find any resources on gradle and such so i have basically no experience with it.

So for the latter, would this be correct?
 

args '--username', 'insert_username'

For the former though, its simply just writing a variable? So something like that:

password_variable="this_is_my_password"

And then using this as the value for args?

Hmmm, for some reason it doesn't work. I know the password and username are both correct and i did exactly what i just mentioned. Am i supposed to run something other than genEclipseRuns?

Oops, my bad. I accidentally put it in the wrong spot. It works just fine now! Thank you very much for your help!

So where is the right spot please ?
