Try:
treehouse:~/workspace$ clear && javac Example.java && java Example
You don't need the .java
extension on the file name when you run it with the java command line command. This was covered in the Java Basics course I believe during the demonstration as to how to properly run our programs during that course.
Hope it helps and happy coding,
