Selection does not contain a main type

When I run this on as a Java application it comes up with the warning "Selection does not contain a main type". Can someone tell me what's wrong? And does it look like it would run after the error no longer appears?

package com.ajaxwoot;

public class Camcorder {

	int recTime;
	boolean canRecord = true;

	public void record(){
		if (canRecord = true){
			System.out.println("I'm recording this now.");
		}
		recTime = 1;
		while (recTime < 20){
			System.out.println("In the process of recording. Time left: " + recTime++);
			
		}
	}
}

This is the complete code right?

Then you're missing the main method, which is needed as the entry point to your coding:

Java

public class Camcorder{
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Camcorder oComcorder = new Camcorder();
    Camcorder.record();
  }

// rest of your code goes here
