I follow the dummies book and i written :

import java.util.Scanner;

class EchoLine {

public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println(keyboard.nextLine());
keyboard.close();
}
}

The error shown :

Must declare a named package because this compilation unit is associated to the named module 'MyNewProject'

The console tab shown :
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Error reading module: C:\Users\Leow\myfirst-eclipse-workspace\MyNewProject\bin
Caused by: java.lang.module.InvalidModuleDescriptorException: EchoLine.class found in top-level directory (unnamed package not allowed in module)

Anyone can advise what wrong ?

Thanks

It's probably better to ask on the JDT forum:

https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/13/

I'm not familiar with how modules are supposed to work, but it would seem the the easiest quick solution would be to use Refactor -> Move... from the context menu of your EchoLine.java file in the Package Explorer, create a package, and move the class to that package.
