Unable to create Runnable JAR file ( Eclipse )

Question

I've made a small game in eclipse but I'm unable to export it. Whenever I try to do so, there are no launch configurations, after quite some time of toying around, I found out how to create one, but now I get the error

"JAR export finished with warnings. See details for additional information. Exported with compile warnings: space/src/space/main.java Jar export finished with problems. See details for additional information. Could not find main method from given launch configuration."

I'm currently using two class files. I've read that it may be because it's not a GUI, but it doesn't use the console and displays in a window, so I'm probably just confused. package space;

import java.awt.Graphics;
public class main extends gameloop{

public void init(){
    setSize(1280,720);  
    Thread th = new Thread(this);
    th.start();
    offscreen = createImage(1280,720);
    d = offscreen.getGraphics();
    addKeyListener(this);
}
public void paint(Graphics g){
d.clearRect(0,0,1280,720);
d.drawImage(voidspace,0,0, this);
d.drawImage(wall,50,0,this);
d.drawImage(floor,100,0,this);

Answer 1

In your case, you don't need main method as you are working with applet.

What you can try is to do following:

1. either remove package "space" from gameloop or add it to main class

2. compile the code

   javac gameloop.java javac -cp . main.java

3. run the code as applet

   appletviewer main.class

4. make sure to have all files in place (wall.png, floor.png, etc.)

5. If you want to be able to run main.java via java command, you will need to add public static void main(String [] arg) into it and make sure to create main object and call it's init method.
