Eclipse is a very good IDE for developing in Java. However, I don't think the error you're getting is because of JCreator, I think you have an error in the program you've created. Make sure the name of your class matches the name of the file that it's in, and that you have a method in that class named ';main';.
Well, that error is saying that you don't have a main method. It's not the compilers fault. All programs need a main method.





I've used JCreator; it's a good program. Dr. Java is good, but not better. And, of course, Eclipse is the best, but it's a bulky program and takes time to get used to. NetBeans is good too.
Netbeans is a full blown IDE that is pretty simple to use. Eclipse is another great IDE but a bit more complicated.
