No text is appearing after the Picked up Java Tool Options

I understand that the "Picked up Java Tool Options is not an error but the text that I am telling the program to display isn't showing at all. Is this normal? My code matches the lesson's display exactly.

Hi there! This is going to be easiest to help you troubleshoot if we can see a "snapshot" of your workspace. If you look on the upper right-hand side of your workspace, you should see a camera icon. Click this to make a snapshot and then provide the link to the snapshot here. This will allow us to make a copy and have a look around. I look forward to hearing back from you! :sparkles:

Make sure your "grammar" is correct before implementing the execute command

javac Introductions.java
java Introductions
Your console.printf statements should display here, as well as other code you pick up in the course.

This should just run your code. On his workspace, it does not show the picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS, nor picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS lines. It's OK, this is also a small issue in the C# lessons given by another instructor.

Hope this helps. If not, please clarify further.
