Thread: Failed to start new browser session: Error while launching browser on session null

Dear Experts,

I am running selenium test case on eclipse IDE , but getting below error. I tried with chrome / firefox and now with exploer also.
It gives error "Failed to start new browser session: Error while launching browser on session null" .

What I did is :

1. Open the selenium IDE and start running test case
2. save the test case
3. Export to the java remote control/webdriver/testing ( because of this error I tried all these exports).
4. Paste the code in eclipse
5. Added necessary jar files like junit4/selenium server/ selenium client driver ,plus two more....
6. Run the Selenium RC server
7. After started run the unit test case


Please help me to solve this problem. Below is the error and code also available for your review.

Thanks,
