There isn't an issue. We've added more memory to the workspace. It's okay that those informational lines show up.

Sorry for the confusion.

I have the same problem!

Can you add more memory to the workspace? I get this error and *.class file is not created.

I think you cannot get rid of them. If you want you can install java compiler on your laptop, then you would not have these random things poping out. It is quite simple and i suggest you install java, depending on the operating system you have to follow different steps. Tell me your operating system, and i will provide the links on how to install java compiler on your machine.

Refer to this video and to run a program is same as here, only difference is that you have to open the command terminal in the location of the program, which you can by holding on shift and right clicking and select open command terminal here. You can try sublime text editor or atom ,they both are cool, just google them and you'll find the links. See the video below for java compiler installation.

I am having the same issue and why I need to install the java compiler on my desktop or on my laptop if Treehouse is offering something that is not working
