Error occurred during initialization of boot layer [message #1834578]

I wanted to run the Hello World code in Java, but the following error has appeared:

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Error reading module: C:\Users\Ioana Predi\eclipse-workspace\Project1\bin
Caused by: java.lang.module.InvalidModuleDescriptorException: MyClass.class found in top-level directory (unnamed package not allowed in module)

This is the code I tried to run:

public class MyClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}

}

My Java version is this:

javac 15.0.1.

How can I fix it?

Hi,
I believe you have a module defined here [check for a module-info.java file]. You must have got a compilation error in this case "Must declare a named package because this compilation unit is associated to the named module 'test'" as per Java Language Specification version 15, sec 7.4.2 "The host system must associate ordinary compilation units in an unnamed package with an unnamed module (§7.7.5), not a named module." Trying to run this program should have resulted in this error.

So either (1) remove this module-info.java file if you don't want your project associated with a module or (2) create a package, say pack1 and move this class into that and compile

package pack1;
public class MyClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}

}

Regards,
Manoj
