Querying Public Data set

I’m trying to run a Query trough the public Data in BigQuery using Java and Eclipse. When I run my code, I get:

HTTP ERROR 500

Problem accessing /Getbigquery. Reason: 
    Server Error


Caused by:
com.google.cloud.bigquery.BigQueryException: Access Denied: Project bigquery-public-data: The user [e-mail] does not have bigquery.jobs.create permission in project bigquery-public-data.

I the IAM my Mail Address has the Owner Role for BigQuery.

What I’m worried about is my BigQuery Console. The Public Data is not listed in my Project but separately and I can’t click on “copy table” to copy it to my Project because it says: “Required parameter is missing”.

Isn’t it possible to query the public Dataset with Java from Eclipse or is there something else I must think of?

A bit of necromancing here: I just encountered the very same issue, not when issuing any form of CREATE statement; rather just SELECTing data from a public dataset - the problem appears to have been that I had not yet selected a Project when attempting to execute the query. As soon as I did, the error went away. Google could do a lot better job catching that edge case and instructing the user accordingly.

This is the key part of the error: The user [e-mail] does not have bigquery.jobs.create permission in project bigquery-public-data.

You will not be able to run a create query on the project bigquery-public-data. The user at [e-mail] will have the Owner Role for BigQuery in your project, but not the public bigquery-public-data project. Try changing the project id set in your code to your own project - you should then be able to run the create query.
