Does your code look like this?
Example.java:
```java
package com.teamtreehouse;
import com.teamtreehouse.Treet;
import java.util.Date;
public class Main{
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Treet treet = new Treet( "Bonar", "coba coba coba coba", new Date(1470837243000L) );
    System.out.printf("This is a new Treet: %s 
", treet);
}
}
```
And Treet.java:
```java
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 mCreationDate(){
    return mCreationDate;
}
}
```
And they are both in the same folder, in the same package right?

Try to specify package com.teamtreehouse in Example.java - judging from your code - there is no right now. That should help.

Are you working in Workspaces. I just started workspace from the video you are on. Typed in workspace console javac Example.java and then java Example - worked like a charm. Do you do the same?
