I have suffered time and time again from eclipse being unable to find my main class. It has wasted hours of my time on several occasions as I have been unable to find a suitable solution online. This however, for some people, may fix the problem. When declaring main eclipse requires (to find it) that you use argv. Change your "public static void main()" which DOES NOT WORK to "public static void main(String[] argv)" and this incessant little error will finally go away. Hopefully this little notice will save another.

public static void main() is not a valid entry point for a Java program. This isn't an Eclipse requirement it is a Java requirement. You can't run the no argument main method from the command line either.
