    Unhappy Trying to connect to a sample Java DB database

    Please help!
    I am following a learning Java book and trying to access the sample Java DB database with NetBeans but getting this error below. Thanks!

    run:
    Error: Could not find or load main class systablereporter.SysTableReporter
    Java Result: 1
    BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1 second)

    Here is the code:

    import java.sql.*;
     
    public class SysTableReporter {
        public static void main(String[] arguments) {
           String data = "jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/sample";
           try (
               Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
                   data, "app", "APP");
               Statement st = conn.createStatement()) {
     
               Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver");
     
                ResultSet rec = st.executeQuery(
                    "select * " +
                    "from SYS.SYSTABLES " +
                    "order by TABLENAME");
                while(rec.next()) {
                    System.out.println("TABLEID:\t" + rec.getString(1));
                    System.out.println("TABLENAME:\t" + rec.getString(2));
                    System.out.println("TABLETYPE:\t" + rec.getString(3));
                    System.out.println("SCHEMAID:\t" + rec.getString(4));
                    System.out.println();
                }
                st.close();
            } catch (SQLException s) {
                System.out.println("SQL Error: " + s.toString() + " "
                    + s.getErrorCode() + " " + s.getSQLState());
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println("Error: " + e.toString()
                    + e.getMessage());
            }
        }
    }

    Error: Could not find or load main class systablereporter.SysTableReporter
    It seems your IDE is looking for the class SysTableReporter in the systablereporter package - the class you posted is not defined to be a part of an 'systablereporter' package.

    Thanks, the advice below seemed to do the trick and got rid of the error. Below is what I did.
    "Right click on project node, go to Set configuration, select the main class for the application. Then clean and build."
