I'd uninstall and reinstall. I'd also check your project type to make certain you created the right type of project, and double check the location of your source file to make sure you didn't put it inside the build script or the META-INF directory or something. The Eclipse forums could probably help you better, I have no deep knowledge of Eclipse that would allow me to debug a problem like this.
