Error: Main method not found in class MovieDatabase

Question

Error: Main method not found in class MovieDatabase, please define the main method as: public static void main(String[] args) or a JavaFX application class must extend javafx.application.Application

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class MovieDatabase {
    private int[] analysis;

    //creating the contructor
    public MovieDatabase(String file){
        analysis = new int[2015];

        this.load(file);
    }
        //uses the load(String file) method from downstairs to do all of the work


    public void  load(String file){
        Scanner theScanner = null;

        try{
            //inputing the into the scanner
            theScanner = new Scanner(new FileInputStream(file));
        }
        catch(Exception ex){ 
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        // as long as the scanner has another line 
        while(theScanner.hasNextLine())
        {
            String Line = theScanner.nextLine();
            //make an array called split and allocated different elements based on a seperation of ##
            String split[] = Line.split("##");
            int year = Integer.valueOf(split[1]); 
            analysis[year] ++;
        }   

    }

    //print out the array in the synchronous format
    public void print(){
        System.out.printf("%1$-30s %2$10s %3$10s %4$10s ", "Year", "Occurances", "", "");
        //go through the array
        for (int i =0;i < analysis.length ;i++ ) {
            if(analysis[i] >0){
                for (int j =i;j < analysis.length ;i++ ){
                    System.out.printf("%1$-30s %2$10s %3$10s %4$10s ", j, analysis[j], "", "");
                }
            }   
        }
    }
} 

How do I fix this error message? Ive read other similar questions but just say to make the classes public. Mine are public.

Solution

main() method in Java is an standard method which is used by JVM to start execution of any Java program. main method is referred as entry point of Java application which is true in case of core java application

You have missed it. Add following main() method

public static void main(String[] args) {
    MovieDatabase db = new MovieDatabase("file/path/goes/here");
    db.print();
}

In the Java programming language, every application must contain a main method whose signature is:

public static void main(String[] args)
