I'm having problems with compiling the program. I keep getting an error that says"Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128"

i have wrote the exact code but still getting the error message... what could be the issue?

I am having the same issue.

edit: I realized it was a syntax error on my part. I had written java Introductions.java, and it does not need the .java because it is using all files named Introductions.

This is not an error message. It always shows up. Unless there was some other error message you can assume everything went well.

I get this problem everytime I type and I also get other error messages. Providing your students with alternative options for executing codes instead of your workspace would be greatly appreciated, especially when you cannot provide a good working environment for them to practice alongside the videos. There are a lot of popular IDEs out there where they compile and execute java and other codes such as IntelliJ IDEA and Visual Studio Code (both Free), but I need a little direction how to use your video codes with them. If this doesn't get solved I will be forced to cancel my membership, cannot learn like this.

Again, the message above is not an error message. It's a normal message, and you can safely ignore it.

If you have a question about an actual error message, or about how to use IntelliJ, feel free to ask a question about that in the forum.

IntelliJ is used later on in the courses, but IDEs are complex tool and people who are confused by the workspaces are usually a lot more confused by an IDE. Just saying.
