[Jesper de Jong]

What kind of file are you trying to edit with Eclipse, and what's the filename?

Try searching on Google for: eclipse "Editor does not contain a main type"

and you might find some useful answers.

Have you created a class called Editor and tried to use it to start an application when it doesn't contain a main() method?

I just downloaded the source code examples for a Java Certification book and am getting the same error message when I try and run a java class inside eclipse. Yes I do have a main method inside the class. What now?
