    I would suggest simply creating a makefile with the necessary commands rather than relying on error-prone and confusing IDE UI's to set up your runs. OSs don't run programs through UIs. Mar 28, 2020 at 7:26
  • @JoãoFarias what is a makefile?

  • It's the script file format for Unix's Make build tool. There are plenty of tutorials out there. Apr 1, 2021 at 11:29

You can try any or all of the below mentioned points to check and resolve the issue.

  1. Check if your project is a Java Project and not a General Project.

  2. Ensure that your class file (.java file) is inside the src folder.

  3. Verify that your folder in which the code (.java) is written is identified as source folder.

3.1 Got to Properties by right clicking on the project folder.

3.2 Choose Java Build Path.

3.3 Click on Sources tab.

3.4 Click on Add Folder on the right panel.

3.5 Select your folders and click Apply to save the changes.

  1. Clean Up and Refresh your project in Eclipse.

4.1 Right click on project folder.

4.2 Point cursor to Source and then click Clean Up.

4.3 Click Next and then Finish in the clean up window.

4.4 Again right click on project folder and then select Refresh.

  1. In your class/code remove the line public static void main(String args[]) and save the code. Then again add the line and save the project and repeat steps in point 4.
