I'm running simple code in eclipse and getting above error

package pack;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class New {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

  //set geckodriver path.

//System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:\\selenium\\geckodriver-v0.21.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe");

  //initialize firefox driver object to open firefox browser.

    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

    //open URL in browser.

    driver.get("http://google.com/");

    String i = driver.getCurrentUrl();

    System.out.println(i);

    driver.close();

   }

}

Also its always a good practice to copy this executable in the project location.In that case we dont need set any path as below

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","geckodriver.exe");
