When you move a (Java) class that has a main()
from one package to another the run/debug configs are not updated.

Example (which will explain better)

Create package 'toplevel'
create class MyMainClass.java
with a main() that say outputs 'hello world' or something.
create a run config
(From menu choose run | run and create a 'new application'
 that uses MyMainClass as its main class)
Optionally Test that you can run your class from the config.

Ok, now create a package 'toplevel.nextlevel'
Now refactor | rename
or drag and drop
MyMainClass from toplevel to toplevel.nextlevel
Any references to the class from other classes are updated
as is the package reference inside the class itself
however the run config remains putting to the old place
and must be manually updated to reflect the new location
of the main class.

Hope that makes sense. If not ask.
