Getting Selenium-WebDriver Example to work

I am completely new to Selenium, and just want to install & run the example to begin with, as described here: http://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.jsp I have installed the Java SE 9.0.1 JDK, Eclipse IDE for Java Developers and Apache Maven. Next I set up a pom.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
                 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                 xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
        <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
        <groupId>MySel20Proj</groupId>
        <artifactId>MySel20Proj</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
                <artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
                <version>3.0.1</version>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
</project>

Then I did mvn clean install

Then I imported the Maven project into Eclipse.

I also installed the m2eclipse plugin.

I called the project MySel20Proj.

Here, I created a class: Selenium2Example.java

Here, i pasted the code from the manual:

package org.openqa.selenium.example;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedCondition;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class Selenium2Example {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
        // Notice that the remainder of the code relies on the interface, 
        // not the implementation.
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

        // And now use this to visit Google
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
        // Alternatively the same thing can be done like this
        // driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");

        // Find the text input element by its name
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));

        // Enter something to search for
        element.sendKeys("Cheese!");

        // Now submit the form. WebDriver will find the form for us from the element
        element.submit();

        // Check the title of the page
        System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());

        // Google's search is rendered dynamically with JavaScript.
        // Wait for the page to load, timeout after 10 seconds
        (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
            public Boolean apply(WebDriver d) {
                return d.getTitle().toLowerCase().startsWith("cheese!");
            }
        });

        // Should see: "cheese! - Google Search"
        System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());

        //Close the browser
        driver.quit();
    }

}

The instructions seem to stop here. What do I do next? How do I run it?

Update 11/12/2017

I am now making some progress with this. The project is finally running, although it is not yet performing the test.

This is my latest POM file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

        <maven.compiler.target>1.6</maven.compiler.target>

            <artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
            <version>3.8.1</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
     <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

            <version>2.20.1</version>
            <configuration>
              <includes>
                <include>Selenium2Example.java</include>
              </includes>
            </configuration>
          </plugin>
        </plugins>
      </build>
</project>

This is the java code:

//package org.openqa.selenium.example;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedCondition;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class Selenium2Example {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
        // Notice that the remainder of the code relies on the interface, 
        // not the implementation.
        System.out.println("Hello world!");
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", 
"C:\\Users\\sstaple\\Downloads\\geckodriver\\geckodriver.exe");

        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

        // And now use this to visit Google
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
        // Alternatively the same thing can be done like this
        // driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");

        // Find the text input element by its name
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));

        // Enter something to search for
        element.sendKeys("Cheese!");

        // Now submit the form. WebDriver will find the form for us from the 
element
        element.submit();

        // Check the title of the page
        System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());

        // Google's search is rendered dynamically with JavaScript.
        // Wait for the page to load, timeout after 10 seconds
        (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>
() {
            public Boolean apply(WebDriver d) {
                return d.getTitle().toLowerCase().startsWith("cheese!");
            }
        });

        // Should see: "cheese! - Google Search"
        System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());

        //Close the browser
        driver.quit();
    }

}

This was the result of running mvn install in the Command Prompt:

As per the code block you have shared everything looks fine. But again as you mentioned org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-server 3.0.1 you have to mandatory download geckodriver binary from this repository and place it in your system. Next in your code block you need to mention as follows :

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\path\\to\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Execution Steps :

  1. Save the Selenium2Example.java and the pom.xml file
  2. In the Package Explorer, right click on pom.xml, select Run As and select Maven clean
  3. In the Package Explorer, right click on pom.xml, select Run As and select Maven install.
  4. In the Package Explorer, right click on pom.xml, select Run As and select Maven test.

Update 1

As you are seeing the error as selection does not contain a main type, ensure that your .java file is within \ProjectSpace\src\test\java\.

Update 2

As you still see No sources to compile, as a last resort, Clean all of your Projects within your IDE, Close the IDE, Delete the ~\.m2 (MAVEN_HOME) sub-directory from the system forcefully. Take a System Reboot and execute your Test. Additionally from the command line even you can do a mvn clean, mvn install and mvn test.
