Description Gary Knutson CLA 2016-07-03 19:39:44 EDT
ran the Hello World program forget to check main method box and cannot get out of it
Comment 1 Sarika Sinha CLA 2016-07-03 23:37:06 EDT
What do you mean by "cannot get out of it" ?

You are not able to create main method or you are not bale to get out of the dialog ?
Please describe the bug in detail.
Comment 2 Gary Knutson CLA 2016-07-04 04:07:48 EDT
cannot get out of the dialog cannot change anything or run anything in this Hello World
introduction every thing is automatically generated with prompts and statements are
provided - you follow along it just so happened that I missed prompt to provide main
method which is obtained by check marking a box after check marking a box which provided the HelloWorld class - the program will not allow you to go back thru and make
changes
Comment 3 Sarika Sinha CLA 2016-07-04 04:10:35 EDT
Please provide the exact steps to reproduce.
Comment 4 Gary Knutson CLA 2016-07-04 09:14:43 EDT

Please provide the exact steps from starting to reproduce. Which Version of Eclipse are you using? What else did you install. We can not understand the problem if you don't provide all the details.
Comment 6 Gary Knutson CLA 2016-07-05 13:47:21 EDT
computer is iMac )SX 10.11.5- JDK 1.80 92 - Java Neon -Eclipse Neon 4.6.0

    In welcome menu of eclipse signed on to Hello World to create first program using
the cheat sheets feature which auto generates statement and responses create java 
project create HelloWorld class and main method(First Time around I forget to check box
for main method) Add print statement run java application which did not work because
it did not have main method - So i went thru process again hitting redo promo and i 
came up with this HelloWorld.java x
                      public class HelloWorld{
                          public static void main(String[]args){
                      System.out.println("Hellow world!");
 then I hit save and launched and message Launch error- Editor does not contain a main
type
Comment 7 Sarika Sinha CLA 2016-07-11 02:45:02 EDT
I can not reproduce the problem.

At which step did you try "redo" ?
Is the name of the file same in first and redo attempt ? 
Is the build automatically on?
Comment 8 Gary Knutson CLA 2016-07-11 10:22:42 EDT
I think that is the crux of the whole problem you have to make the error of not checking main method first time on the hello world cheat sheet first time thru and      
then go to hello world cheat sheet and create java protect and then hit redo prompt

Yes I did the same but my question was at what point did you apply redo ?
did you put the same file name again? is the automatic buil on?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
