Hi there! I can't obtain the same things using Eclipse IDE compiler for Java! It won't let me write in the console!Thnxs

In Workspaces I am allowd to write commands in the console because java console is automatically bringed in! So in Eclipse i just can't write the normal commands like javac and java in order to run the program let's say! The things you do here at Treehouse are a little bit different! Thank you!

With eclipse you might be able to use system.out and system.in (and a scanner) instead of the console.

Hi, You don't need to use these command-lines with Eclipse, just use the little green play button on the top toolbar, or (in Windows) Ctrl+F11 to run the code.
