Run as Kotlin Application missing - eclipse

Question

I have eclipse "Oxygen" version for which I have installed the kotlin plugin by referring the official kotlin site . I have also referred this page on stack overflow, but none of the methods have helped me. I am unable to see "Run as kotlin application" option. This might be a duplicate question, but the original question's answers have not helped me.

What steps did you perform? How would someone reproduce exactly what you've done, not what it says in the instructions, what you did? — nitind, Jun 17 '18 at 16:31

Remove curly braces around class and it will work :

class Hello 
fun main () {
    println("Hello World !!")
}

In my case, I put the main() inside the class, after putting main() at the top level it worked.

Here are the screen shots for the reference:

i don't understand why this work...

fun main() {
    println("Hola Mundo")
//  if (args.size == 0)
//      println("Te olvidaste los argumentos ...")
}

and this don't

fun main(args : List<String>) {
    println("Hola Mundo")
//  if (args.size == 0)
//      println("Te olvidaste los argumentos ...")
}

when I add parameters to main function, the menu option Run as Kotlin ... disappear!

Any Idea ?

Best Regards

I had to ensure the project had Kotlin Nature (go to properties -> project natures) and then open the Kotlin perspective and then i saw the run as Kotlin application.

Try changing the Kotlin Plugin Version. There was a bug in one of the releases. Also if that doesn't work, switch to a newer version of the IDE, maybe Photon. That should make it work.

What I have read is that the Kotlin plugin does not work in the more recent versions. – user118967 Jun 28 '20 at 03:42
