Java Objects Final

I am not getting the output with the following code. I am using Netbeans 8.2 as my code editor.

Source package name is hangman.java.objects.pkgnew and the two Files are as follows:

          <p>This is code!</p>

Example.java
package hangman.java.objects.pkgnew;
import hangman.java.objects.pkgnew.PezDispenser;
public class Example{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are making a new pez dispenser!");
        PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Donatello");
        System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s %n", dispenser.getCharacterName());
        String before = dispenser.swapHead("Darth vader");
        System.out.println("%s changed to %s %n", before, dispenser.getCharacterName());//Error in this line
}
}

          <p>This is code!</p>
PezDispenser.java
package hangman.java.objects.pkgnew;


public class PezDispenser {
   String characterName;

   public PezDispenser(String characterName){
       this.characterName = characterName;

   }

   public String getCharacterName(){
       return characterName;
   }

   public String swapHead(String characterName){
       String originalCharacterName = this.characterName;
       this.characterName = this.characterName;
       return originalCharacterName;
   }
}
          ```

I have solved it now. Thanks for being with me! The standard editors are not even compile the code I have written as above. I have to delete the code for swaphead method and also deleted the the line getting error as the code is wrong, very wrong.
