I would like to run a java project by right clicking the file containing my Main method. When I hover over the 'Run as' option I get an empty list. I can still use the "Run configurations" and get the project running.
I have the same problem (i.e no 'Run as' options) when trying to build the project using my Ant xml. Previously I would right click the build.xml file and select 'Ant build'. My workaround here is to add the builder into the project properties
I suspect I changed some definitions of the file type association, but don't know how to verify if this is indeed the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks
Main method is the entry point for the application to ru. Make sure your main method definition is correct. You may be having a main method, which is different from what JVM expects. Correct definition of main method should look like this:
public static void main(String args[])
Any change in this definition will make your main method to be a different method and JVM will not be able to find the entry point in your code to run.
Also your class containing the main method should be a public class and the corresponding file name should be same as that of class.
