Question

I shifted a few Java projects from a Windows PC to Ubuntu by exporting it ‘via archival file storage’ i.e. a zip file, and importing with the same method.

When I was importing it back to Eclipse, it said I needed to create a blank project first to import from an archival file. So I created a new dummy java project and them imported it. But now when I compile it doesn’t allow me to saying ‘Editor doesn’t contain main type’.

Since I’m too new to attach a screen shot right here, I’m uploading it HERE. What do I do now?

Edit:
The program I’m trying to compile is a simple program demonstrating different types of sorting. In case you feel you should see it, here it is:

import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Queue;


public class Sorting
{
    public static void print_r(char[] arr)
    {
        for(int i=0;i<arr.length;i++)
            System.out.print(arr[i]);
        System.out.println("\n-----");
    }

    public static void print_r_int(int[] arr)
    {
        for(int i=0;i<arr.length;i++)
            System.out.println(arr[i]);

        System.out.println("\n-----");
    }

    public static void main(String sar[])
    {
        String st=new String("jsahen");
        PrintStream oo=System.out;

        /*char ar1[]=st.toCharArray();
        mergeSort(ar1,0,ar1.length-1);
        print_r(ar1);*/

        /*char ar2[]=st.toCharArray();
        quickSort(ar2,0,ar2.length-1);
        print_r(ar2);*/

        /*char ar3[]=st.toCharArray();
        insertionSort(ar3);

    }

Your folder Scratch/src isn’t recognized (configured) as source folder by eclipse. Either you move th source files to src or you add Scratch/src as source folder. Right click on project -> Properties, choose Java Build Path from the right.
