Eclipse 1.3.2 window freezes issue, wrong IDE for win 7 or bad config?

Question

Hi everyone, this is my first thread on this forum...well this is my first thread ever.
I wasn't sure where to post my question, but since it is veeeery noobish, I'm posting it here instead of the obscure 'other' development section.
I installed the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers the other day version 1.3.2 for my OS which is Windows 7 x86.
I installed the Java SE development kit 6 and had already the Java 6 runtime thingy installed way before I even considered studying computer science.
The problem is that when I run the code below the Java popup window appears.....but it won't close if I click on the 'x' to close it :/
Anyone knows the cause to this problem? It would save me a lot of time and mental sanity, I've been fighting with it for some time now.
Thanks in advance.
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.Label;
public class howdy_window extends Frame {
     public static void main(String arg[]){
          new howdy_window();
howdy_window() {
      Label label;
      label = new Label("Fuck you!");
      add(label);
      pack();
      setVisible(true);
}

Nevermind gimbal2, the issue has been solved and I've had some time on my hands to figure out that the IDE wasn't giving me those problems in other istances other than the one I presented in this thread, it was the code itself :/
Now I'm more aware and have started ignoring the feeling of helplessness of trying to learn a OOP language with such huuuuuge resources and APIs..The trick is to learn how to find answers. A forum shouldn't be your first visit, your brain is. Try to reason why you are getting certain errors or why something isn't working. If you get an error, copy/paste the part that is not specific to you into Google and see what you get. Mostly the error you get is the result of something else blowing up, look further and see if maybe something else was not working either.
Sometimes you have to deeper. I have had occasions where I needed to download the source code of an API so that I could step through it in debugging mode. That in itself is for me a very good reason to stick with open source stuff only; debugging capabilities.
