Error in Java

This is probably an easy fix but I guess I have looked at it too long to figure it out. My error is:

javac Example.java && java Example                       
Example.java:16: error: cannot find symbol                                      
    for (String hashtag : originalTreet.getHashTags()) {                        
                                       ^              
  symbol:   method getHashTags()                                                
  location: variable originalTreet of type Treet  

Example.java

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Date;

import com.teamtreehouse.Treet;
import com.teamtreehouse.Treets;


public class Example {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Treet[] treets = Treets.load();
    System.out.printf("There are %d treets. %n",
                     treets.length);
    Treet originalTreet = treets[0];
    System.out.println("Hashtags:");
    for (String hashtag : originalTreet.getHashTags()) {
      System.out.println(hashtag);
    }
  }

}

And in Treet.java

package com.teamtreehouse;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;

public class Treet implements Comparable<Treet>, Serializable {
  private static final long serialVersionUID = 7146681148113043748L;
  private String mAuthor;
  private String mDescription;
  private Date mCreationDate;

  public Treet(String author, String description, Date  creationDate) {
    mAuthor = author;
    mDescription = description;
    mCreationDate = creationDate;
  }

  @Override
  public String toString() {
    return String.format("Treet:  \"%s\" by %s on %s", 
                         mDescription, mAuthor, mCreationDate);
  }

  @Override
  public int compareTo(Treet other) {
    if (equals(other)) {
      return 0;
    }
    int dateCmp = mCreationDate.compareTo(other.mCreationDate);
    if (dateCmp == 0) {
      return mDescription.compareTo(other.mDescription);
    }
    return dateCmp;
  }

  public String getAuthor() {
    return mAuthor;
  }

  public String getDescription() {
    return mDescription;
  }

  public Date getCreationDate() {
    return mCreationDate;
  }

  public List<String> getWords() {
    String[] words = mDescription.toLowerCase().split("[^\\w#@']+");
   return Arrays.asList(words);

  }

  public List<String> getHashtag() {
    return getWordsPrefixedWith("#");
  }

  public List<String> getMentions() {
    return getWordsPrefixedWith("@");
  }

  private List<String> getWordsPrefixedWith(String prefix) {
    List<String> results = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (String word : getWords()) {
      if (word.startsWith(prefix)) {
        results.add(word);
      }
    }
    return results;
  }

In Treet.java:

 public List<String> getHashtag() {

should be

 public List<String> getHashTags() {

That unfortunately did not fix the underlying problem, however thank you for your input.

It is another problem you have now, right? If so, what is the new problem?
