My program keeps saying that the method cannot be resolved

Question

This program should tell me if it can find the file I am naming. Eclipse has no red lines but every time I run it I get this error message and I don\'t know why. Thank you in ad

Answer 1

System.out.println(r.checkIsFile());

should be in the static main function, you are going the wrong way for the flow of code...

Answer 2

A few things to try.

It looks like your ReadFiles class is not being compiled.

You might try adding an import statement for your ReadFiles class to your main.

Do a clean build.

Also be aware that occasionally Eclipse goes "weird" and you need to do some combination of close it reopen it and/or clean the workspace and/or reboot. I know you would think with modern software... but still it happens.

Here are a couple of links that may help.

As an aside, on some prior projects and versions of eclipse I found myself having to do this so frequently that I ended up just setting up eclipse to always launch with the clean option.
