You can only compile your code if you start a project. If you just simply open the editor and start coding away, you will not be able to build it.

What ekenny said. To start a simple Java stand alone application project:

1. Select "File -> New Project"
2. Select "Java -> Java Tool"
3. Click "Next"
4. Enter a project name like "MyName"
5. Click "Finish"
6. Double click "MyName.java"
7. Program
8. Click "Build and Go"
9. Repeat from 7
