Hi there,
Sorry if I'm wrong; I'm just quite new here.
This is the error I get when I right click > Run As > Run configurations > Java Application > New_Configuration > Run and this is what I get;

Error: Could not find or load main class 2D
It says this at the top of the console;

<terminated> New_configuration[Java Application]C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe

What can I do to fix this? If you need what coding scripts I have, I will happily provide them.

Zodiac.

What's the name of the top-level public class? What's the name of the file it's stored in? Post the code (not script) in code tags.

Post your code. Doesn't look like an eclipse problem.

This is my Java that I am trying. I have two more scripts but this is what I attempted to run. The others give similar feedback.

[farrell2k]

Are you adding this Canvas to a JFrame and getting this error when you execute your app?

I have a feeling that you have a class somewhere with an empty main(), and nothing is being executed.

You have a few typos:

line 26: supper ?
line 35: ==

Color isn't defined.

line 88: illegal statement, !graphics

too many close braces

Eclipse is trying to tell you about these errors with its squigglies.

I don't see the source of the error you posted, no sign of a class called "2D".

No problems with Eclipse or libraries missing that I can see, but it's possible that you haven't imported something needed, but it's not evident in the code you posted.

Edit: Oh! Also, no main() method, so what you posted won't run.

This is my GameFrame which I hope you wanted;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class GameFrame {
	public static void main($tring args[]) {
		
		int FWidth = 800;
		int FHeight = 600; 
		
		JFrame frame = new JFrame("2D Game");
		
		frame.setIgnoreRepaint(true);
		frame.setBounds(0, 0, FWidth, FHeight);
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		
		GameCanvas game = new GameCanvas();
		
		frame.add(game);
		
		frame.setVisible(true);
		
			
	}
}

You could well be right there. These are my only two that are completed at this point.

If you set your JFrame setIgnoreRepaint(true) you will have to find another way to refresh/repaint your Canvas

Nah. setIgnoreRepaint() ONLY ignores paint requests from the OS. It won't affect software driven requests, such as calling repaint() in your code. It's really only useful for fullscreen apps when using a bufferstrategy.

[pbl]

GameCanvas will still have to call repaint() on the JFrame
as the JFrame is a local variable, and as it is not passed as parameter to the GameCanvas constructor it is not accessible so any repaint() of the JFrame won't be possible

[farrell2k]

Nah. AWT will still figure out when the JFrame and its children are dirty and need to be repainted. You can verify that by overriding paint on the JFrame and doing some logging in there.

The bigger question is, because AWT knows nothing about when his custom thread is painting that canvas every x millis, will he ever have a deadlock when both his Canvas and AWT try to paint at the same time, or is only one graphics object allowed to paint at any given time? I don't know...
