Terminal does not return result of Introductions.java

Hello,

I am a new techdegree student. I tried to print out a message written in Java program called Introductions. However no message was displayed, only Xmx128m was printed out. Could you please explain me how to use this terminal?

Best regards, Trung

you only compiled it. You have to type "javac file.java" and then once your done with that you type "java file" without the .java to run it. I hope this helps

Hi, I am having the same problem. I have compiled it and then I typed "java file". However, it doesn't return a result. I tried using a new workspace but the problem still persists. I am not sure why.

Make sure your program writes out to the console or nothing will really happen.
