Keep getting compiler errors but not sure why

Added the appropriate annotation as challenge requires but getting these errors (below) even when I remove my code they persist.

JavaTester.java:71: error: illegal start of expression package com.teamtreehouse.sample; ^ JavaTester.java:71: error: not a statement package com.teamtreehouse.sample; ^ JavaTester.java:73: error: illegal start of expression import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; ^ JavaTester.java:73: error: not a statement import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; ^ JavaTester.java:74: error: illegal start of expression import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration; ^ JavaTester.java:74: error: not a statement import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration; ^ 6 errors

package com.teamtreehouse.sample;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;

Hi Dilan,

Unfortunately, there have been some issues with the Java challenges and the Code Checker engines. I'm sure the Support Team is working hard to fix the problem!

For the time being, I suggest continuing on with the course (if you'd like) by navigating over the challenge using the buttons in the progress bar above the video window.

Just make sure you come back later to complete the challenge so you receive full credit and the badge for the course. Hopefully everything gets up and going smoothly soon.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:

Thanks Jason,

I suspected that was the issue as I had encountered it on a few challenges and just kept moving on.

Just wanted to confirm my suspicions

Thanks again :)
