Source2wsdd: ServiceGen does not contain a start method - help!

Question

Hello all Weblogic Users!
I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem.
I am getting this error when I do my build on Linux.
[source2wsdd] source2wsdd: Doclet class weblogic.webservice.tools.ddgen.ServiceGen does not contain a start method.
Previously I was getting an error where the ServiceGen class could not be found. This was occuring both in Windows and Linux.
For Windows, this can be fixed in two ways. 1) Run setWLSEnv.cmd first (in weblogic81/server/bin. 2) (Unconfirmed but try it) Add the tools.jar, weblogic.jar, and webservices.jar to the ant runtimes lib in Eclipse (see preferences/ant/runtimes/global entries. - This will let you run the task inside Eclipse)
In Linux, I added the webloigc.jar and webservices.jar to the user's special ~/'.ant/lib directory (see ant documentation). This too fixed the problem of being unable to find the ServiceGen class. But now I am getting the error above. I am ripping my hair out trying to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks to all....

Hi bkshn,
This error is caused by the missing "Main" method in your project. it is the entry point of your project.
If you want to create a EF project, you could follow the way in the aricle below.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/ee712907#codefirst
The Main method is like below.
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
using (var db = new BloggingContext())
// Create and save a new Blog
Console.Write("Enter a name for a new Blog: ");
var name = Console.ReadLine();
var blog = new Blog { Name = name };
db.Blogs.Add(blog);
db.SaveChanges();
// Display all Blogs from the database
var query = from b in db.Blogs
orderby b.Name
select b;
Console.WriteLine("All blogs in the database:");
foreach (var item in query)
Console.WriteLine(item.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey();
And you could start to learn the EF from the following MSDN blogs.

If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
