java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main Exception in thread "main"

[dj118]

Hi viewers, I'm in dire need of some help. I'm currently doing a program for my studies and I have successfully compiled it and tested it. However when I try to execute the program it comes up with the error java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: Main. I've identified the problem which is the fact that I'm missing the public static void main(String[] args) line of code. however what my main problem is when I place it at under the public class line of code it still gives me an error. Is there anyway around this. I will be grateful if there is a solution to this

Thanks

I'm not sure why you would be getting an error while placing it after the public class line. Below is what I did and it compiles fine:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class ChangingFace extends JFrame implements ActionListener 
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		...
	}
              ....

Thanks for that I done it again and it compiled. Much appreciated.
