Im not sure why this Messy.java file is not passing the check work test. It compiles fine in the local environment.
Any help would be appreciated.
package com.teamtreehouse;
import java.util.*;
public class Messy {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// write your code here
System.out.println("one");
System.out.println("two");
System.out.println("three");
System.out.println("four");
System.out.println("five");
List<String> numberWords = Arrays.asList("six", "seven", "eight", "nine");
for (String numberWord : numberWords) {
System.out.println(numberWord);
}
}
}

Courses Plus Student 6,434 PointsSorry, that was a mistake. Im am stuck on part 5 of that challenge, and the rest of them are passing the parser, fine.
The above code does is incorrect in the online compiler and Im not sure why.
The error Im getting is
JavaTester.java:104: error: cannot access Messy
Messy.main(null);
^
bad source file: ./Messy.java
file does not contain class Messy
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the sourcepath.
1 error
Any help would be appreciated.

I want to say it's because of the package com.treehouse; line. I don't believe that is supposed to be there--it's been a few months since I did this challenge, though. Let me know if that works.
