Problems With my Main

[ToastyBainey]

Hi
First off, I do have a main :)


I am trying to write a soundex program for a java class. It is divided into three files so far, one that deals with string inputs and produces a hash value, another one that puts it into a binary file of a certain length, and the third one I am working on is making a GUI for it.

I had the second one working perfectly, but when I tried to make the GUI, it could not access the methods within the second one because they were not static. So I changed them all to static, and it compiles, but when I run, I think it is saying it cannot find the main. But as I said, the main is there, at the bottom, I can find it D:

So I was wondering if someone could tell me why it is doing this and how to fix it.

Thanks

The error is:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
Exception in thread "main"
Interactive Session Ended


Here is my code:

	public static void createRandomFile(){

		try{
			testFile = new RandomAccessFile(diskFile,"rw");
			for(int i = 0; i < 25656; i++){
				testFile.writeBytes(EMPTY);//makes 25656 empty slots
			}//end for

Probably not what you really should be doing here as it's really taking a big step backwards. Instead you might want to create an instance of the second class and call methods on this instance.

Actually I just figured it out D: I feel like a dork
had to have String[] args instead of String args

[ToastyBainey]

Oh okay good idea.Thanks :) I will try that.

[ToastyBainey]

That worked perfectly. Thanks :)
Sorry if it was easy fix. I am still new to this :)
