  • Have you added your class to the classpath? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7485670/error-could-not-find-or-load-main-class – p e p Apr 22 '15 at 21:01

run my program in Eclipse

In Eclipse, go to Run -> Run Configurations. Under Main tab: the Main Class defines the class which contains the main method you wish to run. Click the Search button. Eclipse will search for classes that contain a main method from which you can choose to run. From there you can apply or choose to Run directly
