1,201 PointsYou should fix this compiler problem, it makes me wanna cancel my subscribe...
It makes no sense to use the workspace if it doesn't really show that our program is working... It's not educational at all and it descourages us...

14,132 PointsHello
this part
treehouse:~/workspace$ javac Introductions.java Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m Picked up JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m Introductions.java:8: error: ';' expected console.printf("Hello, My name is Craig") ^ 1 error
is telling you that you made an error. The ";" is missing
it should be console.printf("Hello, My name is Craig");
note the ";" at the end of the line
if this answers your question, please mark the question as answered.
Thank you

14,132 PointsHello
If you share the error that you are seeing, someone will help.
Like you, I did not like workspaces initially, but now I tend to appreciate them. they provide a good way to test something on the fly.
Thanks
