Joi,

No,that's not it.

Let me explain exactly what I did.  The source is UnicodeDisplay.java (from
the O'Reilly Jave Examples book).  It starts out in my JAVA STUFF folder.
I open JB4, and choose File|New Project.  I name the project "unicode.jpx"
and accept the other defaults.  This creates c:\windows\jbproject\unicode
(but it does not create either the src or classes or bak).  I "manually"
create c:\windows\jbproject\unicode\src and copy UnicodeDisplay.java in to
it.  Then in the IDE, I choose Project|Add Files/Packages, navigate to
c:\windows\jbproject\unicode\src and double-click UnicodeDisplay.java.  I
then go to Project|Properties, choose the Run tab, and then press the
elipsis button on the Application tab.  The dialog appears with
"UnicodeDisplay" in the drop-down, and in the list, UnicodeDisplay apprears
at the very bottom.  I double-click the "UnicodeDisplay" item in the list to
select it as my "Main Class" and then I click the OK button to close the
dialog.  Now I run the project and, yet one more time, I get the "Could not
find the main class. Program will exit." error message.

What am I doing wrong here?

thanks,

James
