Could not find or load main class in STS/Eclipse

Question

I have a main method in a package in one of my projects. Say, the package is com.ant.car. I am trying to run and/or debug this main method, and I keep getting the error Could not find or load main class com.ant.car.

I've searched this problem, and it seems like I can't figure out what is wrong.

1) I've checked run configurations. In Run->Run Configurations, I've checked that the Main class is com.ant.car.

2) I've checked build path. If I right click on the project, I select Build->Build Path, and under the Libraries tab I make sure there are no missing folders with red Xs next to them.

Not really sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Project -> Clean

this is working

Answer 2

Try updating project by right clicking on it. Maven -> Update Project
