Class names, 'PezDispenser', are only accepted if annotation processing is explicitly requested 1 error

i also receive the following

Class names, 'PezDispenser', are only accepted if annotation processing is explicitly requested
1 error

i cant understand where is the error.

Example.java public class Example {

public static void main(String[] args) { // Your amazing code goes here... System.out.println("We are making a new PEZ Dispenzer"); System.out.printf("FUN FACT: There are %d PEZ allowed in every dispenser %n", PezDispenser.MAX_PEZ); PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda"); System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s %n", dispenser.getCharacterName());

System.out.println("Filling the dispenser with delicious PEZ...");
dispenser.fill();

}

}

PezDispenser.java class PezDispenser { public static final int MAX_PEZ = 12; final private String characterName;
private int pezCount;

public PezDispenser(String characterName) { this.characterName = characterName; pezCount = 0; }

public void fill() { pezCount = MAX_PEZ; }

public boolean isEmpty() { return pezCount == 0; }

public String getCharacterName() { return characterName;
}

}

From what I understand of this error, it is because when you compiled the program you forgot to add the .java extension.

so you would run:

javac PezDispenser.java

not

javac PezDispenser

wouldn't he actually run "javac Example.java" This would compile both class files. you might have added a capitalization in the compile like this. "javac Example.Java" The compiler will throw that if the end of the file extension isn't all lowercase.
