So I downloaded eclipse and made a simple code to test it out in. When I ran it, first it said, there is no recent launch history, then it said, Error: Could not find or load main class, in the console. Im using a Macbook air with mac osx, on a 64 bit computer. Can anyone help?

It may be that in your sample code, you do not have precisely this method:

public void main( String[] args )

Once you've got that method, right-click the file it's in and choose Run
As... or Debug As...

Make sure you type main instead of Main. Coming from C#, in which the first letter of a Method is capitalized, I had the same exact problem when I first started coding in Java using Eclipse.
