new to Java

[holtaf]

Hey guys .I'm just today turned to Java.I'm using GCJ compiler , and today I wrote my first program wich isn't compiling .
This is my source code
1 public class main {
2
3 public static void main( String []args) {
4
5
6
7 }
8
9 }

and the output is following

root@linux-machine:/home/arthur/java# gcj main.java
main.java:3: warning: This method has a constructor name
public static void main( String []args) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1 problem (1 warning)
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

P.S. sorry for my bad english it's not my native language :)

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure what gcj is but I suggest you download the sdk(or Jdk always get them mixed up) and use javac.

Even though this would work with Oracle Java, it's because "main" is a very poor name for a class since it clashes with the main() method.
The regular JVM can handle it, but it's still poor.

Besides, classnames should start with a capital letter.
