Stuck on HelloWorld tutorial [message #655008]

I've just started working through the HelloWorld tutorial built into Eclipse (Help > Welcome). This is creating a Java application.

After creating a new Java class, I'm supposed to add a Print statement in the main() method. However, after clicking to close the previous step and do this one, the main frame is simply blank. I don't see any main() method!

What step was left out of this tutorial that is supposed to show the main() method?

Previously I had installed:
Mac OS X (Intel) version of the SDK
Eclipse for Javascript Web Developers

Thanks!
Steve

Hi

When you create java class do not forget click on the checkbox "public static main ..."
If you want to have main class created by default. Otherwise you have to write main method yourself.
