I created pom.xml and an example file Selenium2Example.java to set up Maven.
I followed the instructions on here http://seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.html#chrome-driver
But I am getting the error “Selection does not contain a main type” on running Selenium2Example.java as Java Application.
Here is the pom.xml I am using

Here is the Selenium2Example.java I am using:
package org.openqa.selenium.example;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedCondition;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
public class Selenium2Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a new instance of the Chrome driver
// Notice that the remainder of the code relies on the interface,
// not the implementation.
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// And now use this to visit Google
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
// Alternatively the same thing can be done like this
// driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");
// Find the text input element by its name
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
// Enter something to search for
element.sendKeys("Cheese!");
// Now submit the form. WebDriver will find the form for us from the element
element.submit();
// Check the title of the page
System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
// Google's search is rendered dynamically with JavaScript.
// Wait for the page to load, timeout after 10 seconds
(new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
public Boolean apply(WebDriver d) {
return d.getTitle().toLowerCase().startsWith("cheese!");
}
});
// Should see: "cheese! - Google Search"
System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
//Close the browser
driver.quit();
}
}
On running it gives the following error
Run as -> Run config -> (selecting Selenium2Example.java under TestNG
The error is

First of all, you made the right decision (from my point) to use Maven, Java and WebDriver 😉
What you’ve done looks like you’ve selected the wrong package or file to run!
That’s not a problem of Selenium, it’s a problem of your run configuration, your IDE!
I guess you use Eclipse?
Try to right-click the file you want to run -> run as -> Java Application
That should fix your Problem…
If you want to do some testing with Selenium WebDriver, don’t forget to choose a Testing- Framework. I would recommend JUnit or even better TestNG…
