Keep getting this error 'Error: Could not find or load main class Example.java' Anyone know what it means?

The code should work as I haven't changed anything

public class PezDispenser {
  public String mCharacterName = "Yoda";
}

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Your amazing code goes here...
        System.out.println("We are a making a new Pez Dispenser.");
        PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser();
        System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n",
                          dispenser.mCharacterName);
    }
}

Thank You

Have you already done javac Example.java && java Example ? you said you haven't changed anything so does that mean you did javac & java earlier and its not working now or is this a brand new workspace?
