InvalidModuleDescriptorException when running java program in Eclipse IDE

AbundantCode 1 month ago in Java 0

When you run your first Java program, there are times when you will receive the below error

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer java.lang.module.FindException: Error reading module: C:\Users\Senthil\eclipse-workspace\HelloWorld\bin Caused by: java.lang.module.InvalidModuleDescriptorException: HelloWorld.class found in top-level directory (unnamed package not allowed in module)

The fix for this error is simple. Just delete the module-info.java and run your Main.java file and you should see the program running with out any issues.
