2Java or JavaScript? – VLAZ Jun 01 '20 at 09:23

1@Lucas Wedel , As VLAZ mentioned, Java is not the same language as JavaScript, it is therefore difficult to know how to help you. – August Jelemson Jun 01 '20 at 09:35

If this is Java what is the file name? Only 'module-info.java' can contain a module statement. – greg-449 Jun 01 '20 at 09:38

Its java, just ran out of tags to use. The file name is "module-info.java", and only contains the lines of code in the original question – Lucas Wedel Jun 01 '20 at 09:43

1You don't have to use all 5 tags and adding javascript is just plain wrong. – greg-449 Jun 01 '20 at 09:44

It wouldn't let me post if i didn't add all 5, maybe because it is my first post – Lucas Wedel Jun 01 '20 at 09:44

In the Java Compiler page of the project properties what do you have for the 'Compiler compliance level'? It needs to be at least Java 9 to use a module-info.java – greg-449 Jun 01 '20 at 09:57

I added Java 9 from the library and it fixed it. Thanks :) – Lucas Wedel Jun 01 '20 at 10:26

The module statement is only valid in a module-info.java file and it must be used with Java 9 or above.
In Eclipse set the 'Compiler compliance level' on the project 'Java Compiler' properties page to be Java 9 or above (you also need to have a suitable Java installed).

Modules were added in Java 9. You need to update your JDK. I recommend you use Java 11.
Project -> Propertes -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add Lbrary -> JRE System Library -> Execution environment -> JavaSE-11(jre).
