It's Scanner not scanner.

Changed the scanner to Scanner and it says

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

at Areaofasquare2.main(Areaofasquare2.java:8)

Your class is unable to compile because there is no compiler to compile the class. JRE!=JDK. JRE is runtime environment but JDK is a development Kit. I am not sure if Eclipse JRE6.0 provides compiler or the development kit.
