While running selenium test in eclipse I am getting below error message

"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.gecko.driver system property; for more information, see https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver. The latest version can be downloaded from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases at com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(Preconditions.java:754) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService.findExecutable(DriverService.java:124) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.GeckoDriverService.access$100(GeckoDriverService.java:40) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.GeckoDriverService$Builder.findDefaultExecutable(GeckoDriverService.java:114) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService$Builder.build(DriverService.java:329) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.toExecutor(FirefoxDriver.java:150) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.(FirefoxDriver.java:120) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.(FirefoxDriver.java:98) at AutomationFramework.FirstTestcase.main(FirstTestcase.java:9)

Can anyone suggest me how to fix it?

Your code will work for old version of Selenium. After Selenium 3 you need to use gecko driver to work with Firefox. Download gecko driver and add below line in your code. 

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","G:\\Selenium\\Firefox driver\\geckodriver.exe");//give location accordingly for your gecko driver
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
