Wrapping up question

Hey folks,

I don´t get the last Task.

I get:

Bummer! I expected to see the names I passed in through the args, but I do not. Hmm.
ForumPost.java
public class ForumPost {
  private User mAuthor;
  private String mTitle;
  private String mDescription;

 public ForumPost(User author, String title, String description) {
   mAuthor = author;
   mTitle = title;
   mDescription = description;

 }
  public User getAuthor() {
    return mAuthor;
  }

  public String getTitle() {
    return mTitle;
  }

  public String getDescription() {
   return mDescription; 
  }

  // TODO: We need to expose the description
}
User.java
public class User {
  private static String mFirstName;
  private static String mLastName;


  public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
    // TODO:  Set the private fields here
        mFirstName = firstName;
        mLastName = lastName;
  }
  public String getFirstName() {
   return mFirstName; 
  }
   public String getLastName() {
   return mLastName; 
  }
}
Forum.java
public class Forum {
  private String mTopic;

   public Forum(String topic) {
    mTopic = topic;
  }

  public String getTopic() {
      return mTopic;
  }

  public void addPost(ForumPost post) {

      System.out.printf("New post from %s %s about %s.\n",
                         post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
                         post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
                         post.getTitle());

  }
}
Example.java
public class Example {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Starting forum example...");
    if (args.length < 2) {
       System.out.println("first and last name are required. eg:  java Example Craig Dennis");
    }
    Forum forum = new Forum("Java");
    // Take the first two elements passed args
    User author = new User("Grigorij", "Schleifer");
    // Add the author, title and description
    ForumPost post = new ForumPost(author, "Python", "Programming");

    forum.addPost(post);
  }
}

/* 
   You have to read the the first name and the last name from the 
command line Instead of you passing them. args[0] will read whatever 
the first string from the user and args[1] will read the second input 
*/ 
     User author = new User(args[0], args[1]);

Everything else looks fine!!
