Hello All,
Although I am not new to Java I am a complete newbie on Eclipse.
I followed the tutorial for the "Hello World" and instead of running I am getting errors from Eclipse that I want to be able to resolve.
I have not seen any forum for new comers to Eclipse on how to handle errors thrown by Eclipse.
I am sure that for experienced Eclipse users what I am getting is a simple problem to solve, but for a new user it seems to be a complete show stopper, I can't run a simple program that only uses this:
System.out.println("Hello World")
I know that using other editors and running it from a command line I can run it in less than 5 minutes.
Can someone direct me to the right forum?
I will give extensive detail when I get to the right place to ask.

In advance thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Carlos

Carlos,

You can use this forum. Some basic questions for you. Does the file
build correctly? The file is in a Java source folder of a Java project?

Ed,
First, thank you for replying so quickly.
Let me try to answer your two questions:
Q1: Does the file build correctly?
A1: I am sure is not, why? That is my question.

Q2: The file is in a Java source folder of a Java project?
A2: I believe it is in a Java Source folder. On the package explorer I can see the next path:
Hello World -> src->default package->HelloWorld.java

The error I am getting when trying to run is:
"Could not find or load main class"

In my humble opinion it looks like I got a configuration problem, I just have not clue where to look and fix the problem.

Once again thank you and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Carlos

Without knowing your setup, it's hard to say. Perhaps you don't have an
appropriate JRE configured. Perhaps the file isn't in a source folder
that's compiled by JDT. Perhaps you don't have auto build enabled; it
should be enabled by default.

You could try using "Show In -> Navigator" on the project and then
looking in that view to see if there is a bin folder and whether there
is a HelloWorld.class in this bin folder? If the compiled file isn't
there, that's definitely a problem.

If you deliberately make a syntax error in the file, does it show red
problem markers in the editor?

If you save such errors, do these error markers appear in the Problems view?
