How to log into Minecraft inside of Eclipse

[Sun_Minecraft]

I was trying to log into Minecraft inside of Eclipse so could try some mods out on servers. 
I’ve tried adding

—username username

And —password password

into the program arguments but in the console it shows that the argument password is being ignored and I’m not logged in.

Does anyone know any other way to log into my Minecraft Account inside of Eclipse?

this is no longer possible with a Mojang Account,
irrc you need to use the access token form the Launcher

also why do you want to login in dev environment?
there is no reason to be logged in

This isn't true HOWEVER its super complicated to do and you have to change the command every time. 

Below is a code snippet from a custom minecraft launcher I'm working on so there may be some unnecessary steps focus mainly on the HTTP connections, request types, and request bodys/url endpoints. Forewarning this is incredibly complicated and i would advise against it. If you need to test your mod on a server just put it in offline mode.

there is a easier way to to that, but again there is no reason to be logged in in Dev

Edit: if someone knows how, this is the explanation
