What did you select when invoking Run as > Java Application?
Was it a Java class with a main method?

To amplify:

You have to either add to your invoked class a method of the form

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // your code here
}

or you have to invoke a different class that already has a method of that form.

Note that the method must be public, it must be static, it must return void, it must be named "main", and it must take a single argument of type String[].
