Hi Janine,
main != main :-)
The main type is a method within your Application class:
public static void main(String argv[]) {
WOApplication.main(argv, Application.class);
}
Every Java application starts in the main Method.
Choose YOUR Application class in the Package Explorer and choose Run As
-> WOApplication.
After that you could choose the launch config from the icon bar without
selecting YOUR Application class. (The little green bug to debug or the
white triangle on a green dot to run.)
