"Main method not found" error when starting program?
<p>I'm learning Java for my course and I've hit a brick wall. I've been tasked with developing a simple command line program. To make things easier I was given the following sample code to modify so I wouldn't have to start from scratch.</p>

<pre><code>package assignment;

public class Main {
private final static String[] mainMenuOpts = {"Students","Lecturers","Admin","Exit"};
private final static String[] studentMenuOpts = {"Add Student","List all Students","Find a Student","Return to Main Menu"};
private Menu mainMenu = new Menu("MAIN MENU",mainMenuOpts);
private Menu studentMenu = new Menu("STUDENT MENU",studentMenuOpts);
private DataStore data = new DataStore();
private java.io.PrintStream out = System.out;
private ReadKb reader = new ReadKb();
/** Creates a new instance of Main */
public Main() {
    run();
}

private void run(){
    int ret = mainMenu.display();
    while(true){
        switch(ret){
            case 1: students();break;
            case 2: lecturers(); break;
            case 3: admin(); break;
            case 4: exit(); break;
        }
        ret = mainMenu.display();
    }
}
private void students(){
    int ret = studentMenu.display();
    while(ret != 4){
        switch(ret){
            case 1: addStudent();break;
            case 2: listStudents(); break;
            case 3: findStudent(); break;
        }
        ret = studentMenu.display();
    }
}
private void lecturers(){
    out.println("\nLecturers not yet implemented");
}
private void admin(){
    out.println("\nAdmin not yet implemented");
}
//Student methods
private void addStudent(){
    out.println("\n\tAdd New Student");
    //prompt for details
    //add student to the datastore
    //ask if they want to enter another student - 
    // if so call addStudent again
    //otherwise the method completes and the studentMenu will display again

}
private void listStudents(){
    out.println("\n\tStudent Listing");
    //list all students from the datastore
}
private void findStudent(){
    out.println("\n\tFind Student");
    out.print("Enter Search String: ");
    //reasd search text
    //use datastore method to get list of students that contain the search string
    //display matching students

}
// end Student methods
private void exit() {
    data.save();  //call the datastore method that will save to file
    out.println("\n\nGoodbye :)");
    System.exit(0);
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>I'm using NetBeans and when I try to run the project I get this error:</p>

<pre><code>Error: Main method not found in class assignment.Main, please define the main method as: public static void main(String[] args)
</code></pre>

<p>I just want to get the program running so I can understand the code better. I understand the error, but have no idea where to implement the main method in this wall of text. I've been experimenting for hours, but obviously as a newbie I'm completely useless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
