So my friend is trying to work on a java project, and we're trying to run a project on Eclipse. The problem is that I don't think it realizes it's a java file. you can type "ladfshkajldshfkafh" and it won't say there is an error. And with that, there is a main function, and it won't recognize it. We both have used Eclipse before and have gotten things to compile so we know a little bit of how to use it.
Thanks in advance,
Phil

Eclipse isn't a compiler, it's a freakin' IDE!!!!!!!!!
Compiler==http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler
IDE==http://en.wikipedia....ent_environment
Eclipse utilises the compiler, it isn't the actual compiler.

Abgorn,
Take one of the green pills or something man, we all knew what he meant.

May be you did
But the poster was introducing a wrong concept for all the newbies monitoring that forum
(you can't imagine how often these words are missused and all the confusion it brings)
So, Abgorn intervention's is more than justified

Actually the OP was absolutely correct (although maybe he didn't know it?).
Eclipse as a package is an IDE, an Integrated Development Environment.
When working on Java code, Eclipse has a feature (like many IDE's) that picks up errors in your code as you type. To give you this feature it cannot use javac, it has use an incremental compiler. This incremental compiler is included in the Java version of Eclipse. It is part of the Eclipse IDE.
More briefly, to recognize inline code errors (what the OP was asking about) Eclipse uses it's own compiler.
phil1000: Would you mind explaining how you solved the problem? It may help others in the future.
