Main method not found even if I've declared it

Question

I want to create a simple java class, with a main method, but when I compile my code, I get this error message :

Error: Main method not found in class

Answer 1

If the answers above are not working for you: make sure "main" is not capitalized in your method definition.

OK: public static void main(String[] args)

ERROR: public static void Main(String[] args)

Though the error message makes the required syntax for the main method clear, incorrect caps can be hard to spot. It took me ~30 minutes of troubleshooting to find this typo today. This was clearly not an issue for the OP, but is another easy/likely way to produce the same error message, and this answer may help other users.
