I only saw 2 problems with Treet.java:

1) you had an extra "string" in your constructor parameter list:

public Treet(String author, String description, string Date creationDate){

2) you were missing a closing curly brace at the end of the file.

The resulting code looks like this:

package com.teamtreehouse;

import java.util.Date;

public class Treet {
  private String mAuthor;
  private String mDescription;
  private Date mCreationDate;


  public Treet(String author, String description, Date creationDate){
   mAuthor = author;
   mDescription = description;
   mCreationDate = creationDate;
  }

  public String getAuthor() {
   return mAuthor;
  }

  public String getDescription(){
    return mDescription;
  }

  public Date getCreationDate() {
   return mCreationDate; 
  }

}

In Example.java you were just missing the Date import:

import com.teamtreehouse.Treet;
import java.util.Date;

public class Example {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Treet treet = new Treet(
    "Chris",
    "Want to be famous? Simply tweet about java and use" +
     "the hashtag #treet. I'll use your tweet in a new" +
      "@treehouse course about data structures.",
    new Date(1421849732000L)
    );
  System.out.printf("This is a new Treet %s %n", treet);
}  

}
