Failure possibly due to ant build [message #1058393]

I wrote a java class in Eclipse. It uses the Selenium framework. It used to run, but now when I try to run it I get a popup title "Run As." I have to "Select what to run." The only option is "Ant Build." I select it and click OK. Then, I get an Error popup, saying "Build Failed. Reason: Unable to find an Ant File to run." I click OK and nothing else happens. The program I wrote doesn't run. I think this might have something to do with the Package this program is in, because some tricky things I don't understand have happened with that before. Mostly, though, I haven't got a clue what could be going on with the Ant Build. I only have a vague idea what ant even is. Is it some kind of add on for Selenium?

What was it Run As before? Are you actually using Ant? What changed since the time when it did run?

Thanks for your reply Nitin. I don't know what I changed. Now, I can't even get the following Hello World program to run in Eclipse, even though it does run in JGrasp.

import java.io.*;

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("In Hello World");
}
}

There's a message saying, "Source not found" under a tab titled "Launcher$AppClassLoader(URLClassLoader).findClass(String) line: 207.

I don't know whether I'm using ant. I didn't really intend to, but it might be in the background. I did configure the build path to add selenium-server-standalone-2.31.0.jar and maybe that makes it use ant.
