Livia the answer is too complicated:

pls specify the reason why we see such report after launching command "java Introductions" :

treehouse:~/workspace$ java Introductions
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
treehouse:~/workspace$

If you have difficulty following the steps in the links I provided, please come back with your exact issue. Otherwise, sorry, sometimes in programming the answer isn't easy.

Always check Teachers Notes ...

Java Basics First video Teachers Notes

Quoting

Not to worry, the Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m is not an error on your part, we recently just tweaked our setup to have more memory allocated. Don't fret that mine looks different!

Livia Galeazzi wanted to answer this error

 file not found: Introductions.java Usage:Javac <options> <source files>

Obviously the file Introductions.java IS NOT IN THE FOLDER

That is why she suggested to

Make sure you are in the right folder, try following the steps in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF7dfCkwZ5A

hyukjoon lee did not specify what is his problem, that is why it is unclear what he is trying to solve ...

Does he has problem in Eclipse?

Does he has problem in Workspace

Where does he run and what it is unclear ...

picked up Java_TOOL_OPTIONS is not an ERROR it is a WARNING...

But he is asking about the ERROR, so logically his error is file not found ...

And this question can be answered only with suggestion to check in which folder Introductions.java is ...

So I think someone just lost the question here ...
