to run” list.
EmployeeApp should be displayed at the top of the drop down menu. The application at the top is the default
application to run. However, any application can be selected and run from the list by simply clicking it.
Tutorial: Breaking the Code
Many engineering disciplines use destructive testing to understand how a product or design will function. For instance,
automobile manufacturers crash cars in walls to improve design and safety features. Programmers can do the same
with Java code. Removing pieces of code will help you understand what function the code performs. In addition,
producing errors highlights common programming mistakes and their associated error messages. Hopefully,
by producing the errors now, you will recognize them sooner and fix them faster when you make them later.

In EmployeeApp, change the name of the main method to Main (capital M).
2.
Click the Run drop down button and select the EmployeeApp configuration. Notice that
