How do you get Eclipse to auto-generate a main method for a new Java class?

Type main and press ctrl+space. The eclipse content assist will pop up with main method. Press enter.

"what can i do to make it appear automatically? "

• Go to create New Java Class dialog
• See a part that says "Which method stubs would you like to create?"
• check public static void main(String[] args)

I think the best practise is to use only keyboard. It makes workflow a lot faster.

1. Create new java class with Ctrl+n
2. on dialog box, enter its (class) name
3. use (left)Alt+v to easily tick checkbox for - public static void main(String[] args)
4. then press [enter] Finish and voila class is ready...
