Eclipse can't see java file [message #666026]

Hi All,

I wrote a Java program using Notepad and copied it under the ..\src folder. But I can't see it in the eclipse. The tutorial video showed a zipped file that contains the jave files. Do I need to zip my Java file in order let eclipse see it?

Thank you.

Most likely you need to refresh the project so that Eclipse sees that the new file has been added. Select the project and hit F5.

The proper way to create a new Java class in Eclipse is to right-click
on src and use the new class wizard. Then insert the code.

There are ways of inserting already existing code into a project, but
you should not be using Notepad to write what's far better written using
Eclipse's editor(s).
