I am a total newbie in Java and Eclipse. I googled for lots of help but still confused. From Eclipse I click run then choose Java application and I get this error immediately. Here is my source code:

You cannot define the main method as you do in C++.
For the Java interpreter, the main method must always be public and static. So you need to change your main method signature to
Try this, and feel free to ask further. 🙂
