Code is EXACT to Craig's but it wont work

Hi there,

I am having trouble with the code that Craig wrote in this video. The thing that really befuddles me, is that once I completed the code for this video, I checked, double checked, and triple checked all of the cod from top to bottom, but I get an error that says -bash Java command not found. Anything will help. Quite stumped! Here is my code:

import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    /*  Some terms:
        noun - Person, place or thing
        verb - An action
        adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
        Enter your amazing code here!
    */
 // __Name__ is a __adjective__ __noun__. They are always __adverb__ __verb__
  String name = console.readLine("Enter a name:  ");
  String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective:  ");
  String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun:  ");
  String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb:  ");
  String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing:  ");

  console.printf("Your TreeStory:\n-----\n");
  console.printf("%s is a %s %s.  ", name, adjective, noun);
  console.printf("They are always %s %s. \n", adverb, verb);
}

}

Here is the Error: -bash: Java: command not found

Gabriel,

Yep, your code is perfect!

The issue is with using the java command. Notice that the J is capitalized in the error:

-bash: Java: command not found

By using the lower case java it should work.

Please let me know if this resolves your issue.

Regards,

Chris
