I'm sure it's obvious, but I can't seem to run a Java program. I created a project and then a file inside the project. The file has the simple hello world program. I should be able to Ctrl-F11 and run it, but I get the message, "The selection cannot be launched and there are no recent launches". That, of course, makes no sense to me. What am I missing here?

I don't know what you mean by "wizard". I created a Java Project, then a file within the project. I save the simple program (the standard hello world, but I can't figure out how to compile and run.
