Problem w/ Main Class [message #54286] Tue, 20 May 2003 16:17 Go to next message

Hi everybody,

I don't know what happened but I can't run an application within Eclipse
anymore, the jar runs perfectly. The problem that I have is a message box
"Could not find the main class. Program will exit!" The "Build Project" runs
but after editing a class I get import errors although I started with the
package name as the first folder (it is a linked folder) What's the problem
and solution?

Thanks,
Michael

Michael,

The problem is most likely that the application you're attempting to run is
trying to invoke the java compiler in tools.jar. You can solve the problem
by ensuring that you're running the application within Eclipse with a full
JDK, rather than just a JRE. When you configure the JDK within Eclipse, be
sure and set the root directory to the JDK's root directory, not to it's
internal jre subdirectory.
