Thread: New to Java....still learning...Help Required

Hi i'm trying to grasp Java via reading tutorials..

I'm trying to setup a small quiz but getting nowhere..

My code is below
================================================== =======
package footballquiz;

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Main {
private static void createAndShowGUI() {
//Create window
JFrame frame = new JFrame("main");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);

JLabel emptyLabel = new JLabel("main");
emptyLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(175, 100));
frame.getContentPane().add(emptyLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);

//Display Window
//Display the window.
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
}
}
================================================

when running i get the following error..

"Footballquiz.Main class wasn't found in FootballQuiz project"

Can anyone shed light on this please.... and point me in the right direction...

Thanks in advance

when you start a java program the jvm is looking for a method main with exactly this signature

public static void main(String[] args)


this is the entry-point of your program. if the jvm doesn't found this default entry-point an error is thrown and the execution is aborted.
