Java - How to Compile a single file with Java Eclipse

Question

I am trying to compile one file in a java project, but I am seeing other result (result of another file ) in console. I even tried Ctrl + F11 but the same thing happened

In the dropdown of Run button of Java I am not finding the current file name but if I start a new project and run the file it is compiling. Note:I am a beginner in Java.

@JBNizet I want to see the result of a .java file ,but in console it is showing someother file result. — madhu131313, Mar 11 '13 at 21:44
If you want to run it be sure that the class has a `public void main` method and then right click on the file -> Run as -> Java application — iberbeu, Mar 11 '13 at 21:44
java may have dependencies like in other langs but in java it doesn't required to link them with each other. — Roman C, Mar 11 '13 at 21:53

Your class has to define a public static void main(String[] args) method. Then find the Java file in the project explorer, right-click on it, and choose "run as Java application".

The file name has to be the same (+ extension ".java") as the public class (or interface) defined inside the file. – Axel Mar 13 '13 at 09:16
