Aha! I see the problem now. Your class does not implement Application, so the
main() method approach I suggested won't work.
If you want to run your app as-is, right-click on the BXML file, not the Java
file. That will allow you to run it as a Script Application.
For "real" development, you'll probably want to implement Application directly.
There are a few examples in the tutorial that show how to do this.
