I got an Error: Main method is not static in class SumAndAverage, please define the main method as:
public static void main(String[] args)
so I'm trying to update my eclipse

The error is saying that your main method doesn't have the static property. Could you post your code here to help confirm whether its an IDE problem or a code problem?

@cyan ferry copy and paste your code into here, specifically the main method

public class SumAndAverage {
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (args.length != 5) {
System.err.println("Please provide exactly 5 numbers as command-line arguments.");
System.exit(1);
}

    double[] numbers = new double[5];
    double sum = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        try {
            numbers[i] = Double.parseDouble(args[i]);
        } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
            System.err.println("Invalid number format for argument " + (i + 1) + ": " + args[i]);
            System.exit(2);
        }
        sum += numbers[i];
    }

    double average = sum / 5;
    System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    System.out.println("The average is: " + average);
}

}
