Out of curiosity, have you tried View->Hide console and then View->Show console then trying to run the repl again? This will reset the console in case it is experiencing problems.

You haven't write enought information about what's wrong, so i can't help you a lot, but try:

-restrarting the workspase

-if you can't run class, then you may forgot to save it, translate it to computer language by javac [program] or it may have some errors

-if it's possible to run java-repl, then terminate it and run it again

Hope any of this solutions will help.

The same thing happened to me but I fixed it by using the absolute path to the file.

java> :load /home/treehouse/workspace/PezDispenser.java

I obtained the path by first running "ls" in the workspace (not in java-repl) to make sure that's where the file was and then by using "pwd" to get the full path to the directory.

treehouse:~/workspace$ ls
Example.class Example.java PezDispenser.class PezDispenser.java
treehouse:~/workspace$ pwd
/home/treehouse/workspace
