How to work with NetBeans IDE 8.2 on Windows 7 64-bit with JDK

Question

I've been having trouble using NetBeans IDE 8.2 with JDK on Windows 7 64-bit. NetBeans can compile code, but doesn't run it. I've downloaded all of the necessary files and programs and even consulted with a computer programming teacher, but I haven't been able to work around this issue. The URL displays an image that shows what I get back after attempting to run a code.

I appreciate any help I can get.

JavaApplication1.java is still set as your main class.

To change your main class, go into Project Properties -> Run and change "Main Class" to TestClass.java .

Essentially, the compiler is still running whatever main function is found in JavaApplication1.java .

@notyou Also mentioned how you can right click a file and run it directly, instead of changing the project settings. I used to use this but it slipped me! This is super useful.

I'm pretty sure this question has some answers for you.
