No Main class found in NetBeans

Question

I have been working on an assignment for my class in programming. I am working with NetBeans. I finished my project and it worked fine. I am getting a message that says \"No

Answer 1

When creating a new project - Maven - Java application in Netbeans the IDE is not recognizing the Main class on 1st class entry. (in Step 8 below we see no classes).

When first a generic class is created and then the Main class is created Netbeans is registering the Main class and the app could be run and debugged.

Steps that worked for me:

1. Create new project - Maven - Java application (project created: mytest; package created: com.me.test)
2. Right-click package: com.me.test
3. New > Java Class > Named it 'Whatever' you want
4. Right-click package: com.me.test
5. New > Java Main Class > named it: 'Main' (must be 'Main')
6. Right click on Project mytest
7. Click on Properties
8. Click on Run > next to 'Main Class' text box: > Browse
9. You should see: com.me.test.Main
10. Select it and click "Select Main Class"

Hope this works for others as well.
