Hi all,
after reinstalling my system incl. eclipse I tried to import one of my
projects. It did but Eclipse can't find the main in my project. Is there
a way to force Eclipse to use my particular file. Or why does Eclipse
not find the main function?
Thanks

Does your class really contain a main method?
If you right click the project and loo k at its properties, do you see
something strange there?

When building it I have to create a new Application (in Run Window) -
yes it's an Application and it did run before reinstalling Eclipse and
has a main method. Now I can't find my main class when pressing search
in MainTab/MainClass. My Project name is set correctly.
But unfortunately I'm not very familiar with Eclipse so I can't say if
in properties is something strange but it looks like ever.

How about this. Create a new project.
Copy the Java code from the old project to the new project.
See if that helps.

Sorry for the delay I was on vacation this weekend. No it doesn't help.
I allready tried this. Even if I create a new class with the main method
eclipse does not find this method ... I really don't know what is wrong
here.

I tried with many different methods. One is:

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display= new Display();
mainShell= new Shell(Display);
Listener closeListener= new Listener () {
public void habdleEvent(Event event) {
MessageBox box= new MessageBox(mainShell, SWT.OK | SWT.CANCEL |
SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL);
box.setMessage("Exit MapViewer ?");
event.doit= box.open() == SWT.OK;
}
}
display.addListener(SWT.Close, closeListener);
display.addListener(SWT.Dispose, closeListener);
mainShell.addListener(SWT.Close, closeListener);
mainShell.addListener(SWT.Dispose, closeListener);

mainShell.setSize(800, 600);
mainShell.setPos(200,200);
mainShell.open());

while (!mainSHell.isDisposed() ) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch() )
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}

Another one was standard main methode (after creating a new class with
main) and only adding console output.

Weird. It kinda works for me. I right click the project containing my main
class and choose Run > Java Application.
The "searching for main types..." dialog runs for a long time and comes back
with a very long list of candidate classes.
My class is in the list and I can run it.

However, when I do the same with another project selected, my main class is
not found.

I searched Bugzilla and could not find a bug for this. I posted one for
3.1M4.

Thanks for the replies. There was no bug report handling a similar
situation as I had. My solution was to reinstall all my java stuff
including jdk, eclipse and all plugins. Now it works as it should.

That complete re-install of everything was almost certainly not
necessary. Definitely not reinstalling the JDK.
I suspect there was just a configuration problem with the project that
wasn't working.
The only time (in more than 3 years of using Eclipse on a daily basis)
that I've ever had to re-install it was when an old 2.x version got into
an out of memory state during shutdown and corrupted the workspace. Even
then, I only had to reconstruct the workspace, not reinstall all of Eclipse.
I'm pointing this out so that you don't spend time in the future because
you think all that re-installing is necessary or regular.
