eclipse editor does not contain main type

[shihab K Bava]

package demos.texture;   
  
import java.io.IOException;   
public class TestRun {   
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {   
    System.out.println("From Test");   
}   
}  

Dear friends,

When I tried to run the above vlas from eclipse I got an error "editor does not contain main type". But when copy the class to another package it works fine. Any clues?

THe main point is I am trying to run some demo applications. All libraries and jar files are there in my systesm and path and classpath variable are correct. But when I am tryign to run a class which have main,, it gives the same error. So that I created a test class (above class) and tried to run. When that class in the package demos.texture it gives error. But when the test class copied to another package it works fine. Any one can help?

Thanks and Regards
Shihab

You need to select/open the class file in the editor and bring it to front before to run it. If you tabbed/switched to another class file in the editor, then this one will be runt. If this one doesn't have a main method, you will get this error.

also i tried a SWT demo code that earlier gave this error with this main inialization>
public static void main (String [] args) {

notice the space b/w String & []

so i replaced with

public static void main (String[] args) {

and it worked
