What the heck is a bash error, and why am I getting one?

I am getting a bash error when trying to run the following basic program in the TH workspaces console:

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("Hi, A");

  }
}

To explain further, I at first ran Introductions with the .java at the end in the console, which is incorrect, and resulted in the bash error, but now it won't stop giving the bash error when I input the run correctly, java Introductions. So what the heck is a bash error, and why am I continuing to get one when I'm running the console commands correctly now?

I'm not even a big fan of getting input from Console. I find it easier to use a Scanner object from importing java.util.Scanner.

It is easier if you can do it this way: 

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("What is your name?")
String name = input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Hello, "+ name);
