    Default [SOLVED] Methods and Exceptions

    I'm working on a program that will do a number of things, the exact function being performed is selected by the user in a menu. (They type in the number corresponding to their choice, a switch statement calls a method to perform said function)

    I'm having trouble with the code in regards to the error-handling (I think).

    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
     
    class GuildDKP {
     
    	public static void menu () throws IOException {
    		BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
     
    		int menuChoice;
    		int menuFlag = 0;
     
    		System.out.println("Please enter the number corresponding to your menu selection:");
     
    		System.out.println("1.) Create a new character file.");
    		System.out.println("2.) Input new DKP/EPGP values.");
    		System.out.println("3.) Delete existing files.");
    		System.out.println("4.) Decay existing values.");
    		System.out.println("5.) Display the current priority list.");
    		System.out.println("6.) Backup existing files.");
    		System.out.println("7.) Populate files with random values.");
    		System.out.println("8.) Clear files of all existing values.");
    		System.out.println("9.) Exit.\n");
     
    		while(menuFlag != 1) {
     
    			menuChoice = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
     
    			switch(menuChoice) {
    				case 1:
    					menuFlag++;
     
    					break;
    				case 2:
    					menuFlag++;
     
    					break;
    				case 3:
    					menuFlag++;
     
    					break;
    				case 4:
    					menuFlag++;
     
    					break;
    				case 5:
    					menuFlag++;
     
    					break;
    				case 6:
    					menuFlag++;
     
    					break;
    				case 7:
    					menuFlag++;
     
    					break;
    				case 8:
    					menuFlag++;
     
    					break;
    				case 9:
    					System.exit(0);
    					break;
    				default:
    					System.out.println("Incorrect input.");
    					break;
    			} // Case
    		} // While
    	} // Method: Menu
     
    	public static void main () throws IOException {
    		System.out.println("Welcome to the GuildDKP program!\n");
     
    		menu();
     
     
    	} // Method: Main
     
    } // Class: GuildDKP

    The above code returns the following run-time error:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main

    EDIT: I just went full retard all over the place. If anyone else happens to make such a stupid blunder, I'll put the obvious solution in for future reference.

    public static void main () throws IOException {

    Should be:

    public static void main (String str []) throws IOException {

    If you want user input via a console, use a scanner. The BufferedReader is for reading in the contents of a file.
