Newbie stuck at HelloWorld [message #145816]

In starting out with the simple tutorial to learn Eclipse,
I followed directions to write a HelloWorld class in a new java project.

Eclipse does things and comes up with the following class - for which
I'm supposed to type in the plintln command.
Thus ->

public class HelloWorld {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}

But right off the bat I get an error:
Syntax error on token "(", "Identifier"
expected HelloWorld.java newProject line 16

Did I not install correctly? I don't know because Eclipse does not have
an entry in my Start->Prtograms menu - nor is there a Control
Panel->Add/Remove Programs entry for Eclipse. I'm on a Win2000 box.

Don't the directions say to type in something like this?

public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String [] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}

How about reading some basic Java books.
Thinking in Java comes to mind by Bruce Eckle.

This has nothing to do with Ec.lipse. Rather your poor knowledge of
java. You've a compiler error due to invalid syntax.

Thisis not the correct forum for this question. No Eclipse forum is.
Look on Usent comp.lang.java... for the correct forum.
