Reproduced the code of the video in workspaces, but it isn't working

Hi,

I put in this code and looked it over and over. To me it looks like the same code as in the video.

import java.io.Console;

public class Introductions {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    //Welcome to the Introductions program! Your code goes below here
    console.printf("Hello, my name is Craig");
}

}

This is the output from the console: treehouse:~/workspace$ javac Introductions.java
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
treehouse:~/workspace$

Why isn't it working?
