I'm new to IntelliJ IDEA and I would like to run a simple Maven Quickstart project using it.
I followed all the instructions, the project was sucessfully built. But when I try to compile and run it , the Run button is not activated.
It looks like IntelliJ IDEA couldn't figure out where the main class is.
This is a picture of the project's hierarchy.
What is the problem ? And how can I fix it ?
Thanks !
Refresh the Maven project in the Maven Projects tool window (Reimport All Maven Projects), if it doesn't help, refer to this answer for diagnostics.
The issue is that your source roots were not configured correctly from the Maven model for some reason and the .java file appears in a plain directory instead of the Source root.
You can tell that by the color of the folders and by the icon of the file.
You need to create a Java Project.
File->New->Project->Java->Next->Next->Finish
Then go to the top and do:
Right click parent folder of project->Add Framework Support->Click Maven->Ok
Now Maven should be added to your project and also you should be able to run it
If this doesn't allow you to run the project, click the little drop down box to the left of the grayed out run button and click Edit Configurations.
Then click the + and click Application and set your Main class to the class that has the main method in it, and then it should allow you to run the application.
Hope that helps!
Seems like your java directory is not marked as Source root. Right click on it and click Mark directory as -> Source root
Have you imported the project as a maven projet ?
If yes, click on the body of your fonction and then do CTRL+MAJ+F10 or MAJ+F10
My issue was that I was looking for the equivalent of calling "mvnw" from the console/terminal.
.mnvw (linux) OR mvnw (windows)
I didn't know where this was in IntelliJ. That's how I interpret part of the question that was asked.
The solution wasn't obvious to me so I wanted to share it.
Conceptually, you want to run the default maven configuration (not a specific lifecycle stage). Therefore you need to select the root entry in the Maven panel:
Then you can play the green play button on the panel:
Alternatively, you can right click and run the maven build from the context menu.
If maven not visible top-right side then maven plugins not avaiable in your intellij IDE.
Follow below steps:
click settings icon(top-right side)->select plugin->click on checkbox at maven option->click apply button then ok button.
After few minutes maven able to see in you IDE.
You need to add to project e.g. Jetty or Tomcat (compile to WAR & run Tomcat server with this war).
If you will have Jetty maven plugin you will be able to run app via mvn jetty:run (Add this to Maven run configuration)

Anytime I try to run a java file by clicking run, it instead tries to run the class file and thus gives a no main method error.
When I try to right click on a java file and run that, it doesn't recogize it as a file that is runable.
I am still able to run programs from the command prompt but I would prefer to be able to run them in IntelliJ.
This occurred after trying to create a Class path when using JSon Libraries.
Edit:
Normally it shows java files with this icon:
But instead it's showing this icon for java files:
I think the change in icon might have something to do with it.
Edit 2:
the exact error I get is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_181\bin\java.exe"...bunch of other program file locations
Error: Could not find or load main class sample.Main
Process finished with exit code 1
I had the same problem and found out that my src wasn't marked as Sources Root. To change this:
right-mouse click on your src
navigate to "Mark Directory As"
choose "Sources Root"
It will now recognize your files correctly and your main classes will be able to run again
IntelliJ not recognizing my .java-files
Problem solved
I had a similar problem.It wouldn't pick up ModlServer in any project. (Not just limited to the one I had open).
I had to file -> Manage IDE Settings -> Restore Default Settings
Note: I lost all my live templates, fonts, etc so just a heads up.
I restarted my computer and that somehow fixed it.
My issue was that I have multiple modules for my project and the module I was working on (where java files were not recognized) was not included in the main pom. I just added that module in the main (project) pom and it worked.
Right click on the project and click 'Add framework support' all directories and classes should now be the right type.
I've fixed this at Intelij2023 by using JDK17 as the JDK the IDE uses to import java source files.
Mind this JDK version does not need to be the same you use to build your project.
Go to: Settings > Build, Executio, Deployment> Build Tools > Maven > Importer
Set the JDK For Importer to zulu-17
I'm using zulu-17 as JDK for imports and coretto-8 to build the project (having JDK version 8 seems to be preventing intelij to properly recognize the project structure)
If you are using Maven or Gradle, try to re-import the project and see if that helps. Could be that your IDEA project has some incorrect settings in it set by mistake, so this way those would be removed.
I have cloned a Bitbucket project in my Eclipse IDE and I want to debug the project as a remote application.
However, in the debug window (->connect window), the project name is not shown.
Why do I not see it?
I am Attaching Screenshots where you create Debug Configurations for any Remote Java application.
Lets Go step by step:
Within Debug Configuration Window
You right click Remote Java Application > New
In the Connect Tab you browse the project in your Workspace (One you want to debug), Here in my case it is MyApplication
In Source tab You Find below details where you add any dependent projects with the project that you want to debug
When you say Add here, small dialog box comes up and here you can again choose Java Project, that would be one from your workspace.
I think doing this you would find your Project for Remote Debugging.
Hope this helps..!
I didn't see your problems related screenshots, but according to the situation you described, you can try the following method:
On the debugging of threads Right click it
--select Edit Source Lookup Path
--Select Add
--Select the Java Project
--choose the Java Project you worked with then click OK.
The other situation I think about is whether or not you don't have the jar that you're relying on for the project you downloaded
I had same problem. I had imported project as import project from file system. so it was not java or maven project for eclipse i guess.
i just did import as git project and tried again and it worked.
I have generated a demo popup menu plugin project automatically by Eclipse. Here is the project structure,
I have set a objectContribution to the point org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus,
When I right click the project and choose Run as -> Eclipse Application, another Eclipse process run and I can see the configured menu works well,
How can I install this plugin for my original Eclipse process?
What I have tried
I did some research and tried to Export -> Deployable plug-ins and fragments, then put it into the %EclipseFolder%/plugins, but it didn't work. I also have tried to Export -> Deployable features and installed it by Help->Install New Software, also failed to see the menu when right click the project.
Will you please help? BTW, I would like to know how to contribute a menu which will display when I right click on a package in a project? Thanks so much.
Use the Deployable plug-ins and fragments wizard and select Intall into Host on the Destination page.
This will create a p2 repository at the denoted location and install the selected plug-ins from there into the host instance, i.e. the Eclipse IDE that you are currently working with. I think a restart may be required.
I made a HelloWorld app in Eclipse that had no errors and runs fine. It was located in
Android/workspace/HelloWorld
Then I created a Git repo elsewhere in, say
Git/MyApp
I want to have MyApp contain the HelloWorld project from eclipse, and when I make edits to HelloWorld, it will show up in git status and I can commit and push those changes.
I tried copying the HelloWorld directory from the workspace into MyApp, then pushing my changes to my repo, which was fine.
Then I deleted the original HelloWorld in the workspace, went to Eclipse, hit import existing project, and selected the HelloWorld from the MyApp repo. But this resulted in a ton of compilation errors. How can I do what I'm trying to do without all these errors?
I've attached a link to a screenshot of the errors I get upon compilation.
I have Understood your problem,your project have a relationship with appcompact.Whenever you import your project you have to check below scenario,
Right click your project ---->select properties--->In side bar select "Android" Tab--->now you can see Project build target and Library Box--->in Library box click add and choose appcompact project and then click apply.
After done above one clean and build your project.Then it will work fine.
try Clean operation on your project and then build your project. replay whether it solves the issue or not.
As a matter of fact it looks to me like your eclipse doesnt recognize your app-compat anymore.
This happend to me once too, after I closed and reopend the appcompat-project.
Try to close all your projects -> open the appcompat first -> restart eclipse and maybe do a clean on your project
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to debug my Java application in Eclipse however when I hit a breakpoint I simply see the following instead of my source:
If I change the stack frame in the Debug window then I can see the function name change in the tab - this is definitely my code, the line number is correct and I'm using the latest build but I still can't get Eclipse to show the source (despite it being open in another tab!)
I'm new to Eclipse and so I'm struggling to find my way around, but everything that I've stumbled across so far seems fine to me.
What might cause this to happen and how can I fix it?
Sounds like the 'source lookup path' section if you edit the debug configuration isn't setup correctly?
Click on "Edit Source Lookup Path" button and then click on Add button then Java Project and include your imported project .. Hope this will solve your problem
I also had this issue in MyEclipse Blue. I resolved it by following these steps:
Debug the project.
Right click on the Thread (Which you will see in Debug tab) and click on the "Edit Source lookup"
New window will open and hit the "Add" button and Select the "Java Project".
Get all the project that is listed over there.
Restart your server.
I had similar problem with my eclipse maven project. I fought with this issue quite a long time then I tried to rebuild projet with
mvn clean eclipse:eclipse
and it helped.
When I faced this problem for the very first time, I've already done all the steps mentioned here. Curiously, my problem happened when I've copied a project into another place. Anyway, the debug starts to work without warnings, after simply remove all breakpoints that was originated from the original project.
Sorry about my English , I'm not fluent.
We had the same problem and none of the suggestions above worked. What did work, was deleting the local workspace and from Eclipse checking out from the repository again. The problem occured for everybody previously working with Netbeans and making the switch to Eclipse.
Try this:
Select Project
Right click
debug
Debug configuration
Select Source Tab
Click on add button
Select Java Project
Add your project there with check box
For local projects I've solved it by selecting the "Resolve Workspace artifacts" checkbox in the Debug Configurations.
This is a common error while debug in eclipse. You can fix it through edit source look up. But make sure once you attach the Project You need to stop the server and again start in Debug mode. It will work.
Here is the detail steps :
Click on "Edit Source Lookup Path" button .
Then click on Add button.
Select Java Project and include your imported project
Then stop the server and start it in Debug mode and hit your service. It will work.
After trying most of the solutions here, try this too once -
Close all the .java files from the editor, in fact, close all unrelated projects in eclipse.
And try running the Debugger.
I solved this problem by adding the class file into the src folder within the project. Hope this method may help.
I got this error when I was running my server using a maven tomcat plugin. When I deployed using my configured server in Eclipse (generating a war file and copying it into my tomcat directory), I didn't have this issue anymore.
In your debug configuration add goals as "clean install"in the maven build con
This is an expansion on JAB's answer:
Click "Edit Source Lookup..." > Add... > Workspace Folder > Project > select your folder > check Search subfolders box > OK.
In Eclipse:Window-->Go to preferences-->Java-->Click on JRE-->Edit--->Restore Default and click on Finish.
Update your Project before Debugging the code!
Alas! It worked for me.
This occurred to me when my working git branch is updated from code in master branch. I have already run mvn clean install after the pull, but seems I had to update projects after the maven build so that project source code and JAR build code gets synchronized.
Right click on your project -> Maven -> Update Project, then select all the
maven modules available and press OK. This resolved the issue for me.
I was facing same issue. After banging my head for several hours, I finally noticed that although Maven was building the project successfully, the source file I was trying to step into had an incorrect package statement and that is why the 'Source Not Found' eclipse problem was happening. When I corrected the package statement and rebuilt the project, the debugger found source file and stopped on my breakpoint.
