I was getting the same error. Deleting the module-info.java file solved it for me.
Solution 2
It seems that you haven't created a package. My usual procedure in Eclipse is:
- Create a new Java project
- Inside that project: Create a new package
- Inside that package: Create a new Java class
Eclipse will help you a lot with the settings. Then just copy your code into that class and hit the 'start' button.
Solution 3
by removing module class problem solved for me in eclipse

I have started learning Java and encountered a problem when trying to run my first program as given below:
public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub System.out.println("Hello world!"); } }
On Eclipse Photon I encounter this error when running it:
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer java.lang.module.FindException: Error reading module: C:\Users\Thomas\eclipse-workspace\HelloWorld\bin Caused by: java.lang.module.InvalidModuleDescriptorException: HelloWorld.class found in top-level directory (unnamed package not allowed in module)
I looked and there is my .class file in bin directory and my .java in the
src
directory.Is that normal? How do I fix that?
