Your problem is that Example.java is located within the folder teamtreehouse which is then located in the folder com. When you type javac Example.java the workspace is looking for a file named "Example.java" located within the Java Data Structure. What you need to do is simply type javac com/teamtreehouse/Example.java or move your Example.java file out of the two folders

I had the same problem Matthew, but believe me the instructional video is misleading, but after moving the example file out of the folder, it worked, thanks a lot a million bro
