Answer 1

Right click on project node, go to Set configuration, select the main class for your application. Then clean and build.

Even if this doesn't solve your problem, then delete the Netbeans cache by deleting the (index) folder

User\.netbeans\6.9\var\cache\index\

Answer 2

I think that the following is happening:

• If this is a third party application, you have not included some jar files on your class path;

• Or, (which in my opinion is the most likely) you do not have a method which has this signature: public static void main(String[] args). This method defines the main entry point for your application, not having it might cause that error when you try and run the project. To my knowledge, Netbeans creates a main class with such a method automatically whenever you create a new project. This might be the reason why you are not having this exception when you create a new Project and throw everything in it.

• You might be having an issue with Netbeans itself. You can start by either checkin gout this previous SO thread in which a similar (I think) issue is being discussed, or else, as a final resort, you might want to remove Netbeans and all its files, and install an earlier version. You can also try and see if you get the same issue if you use a different IDE such as Eclipse.
