MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new project, and select Console Application for the project type.



2. Open the source file (Class1.java).



3. In the Class Outline pane, expand Class1 and select the main(String[]) method.



4. Right-click the main method and select Copy.



5. Right-click the main method again and select "paste." This will add a second declaration of the main() method. Note that the Task List shows an error message saying "Redeclaration of member 'main'".
