Error: The active editor does not contain a main type

[Anjana Ravindran]

Hi,

I am using eclipse 1.3.2. When i tried to run a program having a main class as java application, it gives an dialog popup 'The active editor does not contain a main type'. Donno why eclipse is not recognizes the main method.

Even when i tried to use run and create a new launch configuration, there is a box to give the main class trying to run. On clicking browse button to get the main class, my main class is not returned in the search result.

This was working before. I moved the physical location of the project from one place to another place (in C Drive) and configured as new java project. After this change, this gave the error. Please give me pointers on solving this issue.

I guess this is a typo (and should be something like 3.2.1)?

Are you sure you don't have some typo in the declaration of your main method?

public static void main(String[] args)

(is it public and static?)
