What are advantages, disadvantages of each of them.
please advise
Any links resources ideas highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Yes, you can pass them as program arguments.
To read them you would use something like
String favoriteDay = args[0];
String favoriteCar = args[1];
that is purposeof args[] in the line
public static void main(String[] args) {

I guess you read in the same web site
http://www.avajava.com/tutorials/lessons/whats-the-difference-between-program-arguments-and-vm-arguments.html
System arguments apply to the system.
Program arguments apply to your specific program.
It all depends on what you trying to do.
Hopefully an expert will have some more to say about it.
