Hey guys, so I think this is a pretty common error from searching through the forums, but it seems like everyone has it for a different reason and I can't quite make sense of some of the solutions.

Basically I'm working through a java textbook and I had eclipse working perfectly for the past 2 weeks or so but I started it up today and can't get anything to run. Before, when it was working, I could just hit ctrl+F11 and it would run the program, but now it prompts me to select a java applet or java application when I try to run my programs, and neither option successfully runs the program. Attached is an image of my setup with my code and the error.

How can I get eclipse to run my programs again?

Thanks!

Java is a case sensitive language. Your "main" method name has to be lowercase.

I got same problem, when I modify argument of the main method, ...main(String arg[])...
Not ...main(String[] arg)...
It works.
