Eclipse "Error: Could not find or load main class"
If you are seeing an error message that says "Error: Could not find or load main class", it is likely that there is a problem with the classpath for your project.
There are a few things you can try to fix this error:
Make sure that you have a
public static void main(String[] args)
method in your main class. This method is the entry point for your program, and is necessary for it to run.Make sure that the main class you are trying to run is in a package. If it is, then the package statement at the top of the file should match the directory structure of your project. For example, if your main class is in a package called
com.example
, then the file should start withpackage com.example;
.Make sure that the classpath is set correctly. The classpath is a list of directories that the Java runtime looks in to find class files. If the classpath is not set correctly, the Java runtime will not be able to find your main class.
If you are using an external library or dependency, make sure that it is included in the classpath.
If you have recently added or changed any files in your project, try cleaning and rebuilding the project. This can sometimes resolve issues with classpaths and dependencies.
I hope this helps! If you are still having trouble, please provide more information about your project, such as your main class, the directory structure, and any external libraries you are using.
