Created a PezDispenser object but cannot get the MAX_PEZ object

This is my code: 

```import java.lang.String;

public class PezDispenser{
    public final int MAX_PEZ = 12;
    private String mCharacterName;

public PezDispenser(String characterName) {
    mCharacterName = characterName;
}

public String getCharacterName() {
    return mCharacterName;
}

}

It successfully creates a PezDispenser object: but I get this error when I try to get the MAX_PEZ object:

ERROR: Cannot find symbol symbol: variable MAX_PEZ location: variable pd of the type PezDispenser pd.MAX_PEZ;; ^

Hmmm are you sure the file is saved?

So I saved the file and recompiled it and now I can't even make a new object:

ERROR: cannot find symbol Symbol: class PezDispenser Location: interface Evaluation PezDispenser method$ylxscimq4gpaw5d0bn26(); ^
