Can't get Messy to run

In the Local Development lesson. The final challenge asks me to run the program in InteliJ Idea, but it won't. BTW I was also not able to get the "Postfix completion" shortcuts to work (ie. sout.) What have I messed up this time?

Messy.java 
import java.util.*;

public class Messy {
    public   static void main(String[]      args){
System.out.println("five");System.out.println("one");
    System.out.println("six");
    System.out.println( "four"       );     System.out.println("two");
    Please comment out this line and
    this line as well with a hotkey that does multi-line commenting
    List<String> numberWords = Arrays.asList("six", "seven", "eight", "nine");
    for (String numberWord:         numberWords) {
      // Use the sout shortcut to write out numberWord;
      }
    }}
