try to save your work and make sure you spell it exactly the same as your class name.(lower case and Upper case makes difference in java)

i dont see error message are you talking about

Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m

Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m

if yes just don't worry about it , it's from the server not yours

Hello, can you please tell me what's wrong with this code now ?

public class TreeStory {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    /*  Some terms:
        noun - Person, place or thing
        verb - An action
        adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
        Enter your amazing code here!
    */
  // __Name__ is a__adjective__ __noun__. They are always __adverb__ __verb __.
  String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you? ");
  int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
  if (age < 13) { 
    // Insert exit code
    console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program.\n");
    System.exit(0);
  }
  String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
  String adjective = console.readLine("Enter your adjective: ");
  String noun;
  do {
    noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
    if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || 
        noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"))|| {
      console.printf("That language is not allowed. Try again. \n\n");
    }
  } while(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
  String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
  String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending in -ing: ");
  console.printf("Your TreeStory:\n---------------\n");
  console.printf("%s is an %s %s. ", name, adjective, noun);
  console.printf("he is always %s %s.\n", adverb, verb);
}

}

The ERROR I get is this now? } while(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
^
TreeStory.java:30: error: ')' expected
} while(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
^
TreeStory.java:30: error: ';' expected
} while(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
^

in the if statement you have || after your statement

if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || 
        noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"))||

it should be

if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || 
        noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"))
