Timothy,

It appears you do not have a proper main method.  You should have the 
following method in your HelloWorld.java file:

   public static void main(String[] args) {
       System.out.println("Hello World!");
   }

You would have gotten this when you created your New Class if you asked 
it to create your main method (there is a click box).

If you right-click on the java file, you will be offered the option to 
run it as a Java Application.  If you rename it to main2, for example, 
you will instead see "Open Run Dialog" offered.  If you try and force 
this to be run via the dialog, you will get the error message you are 
seeing which is entirely expected.
