Are you working in Workspaces. I just started workspace from the video you are on. Typed in workspace console javac Example.java and then java Example - worked like a charm. Do you do the same?

Yes I work in Workspace. I tried from scratch with the same code and it's working. I wonder why it didn't work.

Thank you anyway, Alex.

Hi Alex,

Sorry that my post is so messy, i still don't know how to post it properly. But, there is "package com.teamtreehouse" right after "and my Treet.java code is like below:"

Thank you..

Does your code look like this? Example.java:

package com.teamtreehouse;

import com.teamtreehouse.Treet;

import java.util.Date;

public class Main{

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Treet treet = new Treet( "Bonar", "coba coba coba coba", new Date(1470837243000L) );
        System.out.printf("This is a new Treet: %s \n", treet);
    }
}

And Treet.java:

package com.teamtreehouse;

import java.util.Date;

public class Treet {
    private String mAuthor;
    private String mDescription;
    private Date mCreationDate;

    public Treet(String author, String description, Date creationDate) {
        mAuthor = author;
        mDescription = description;
        mCreationDate = creationDate;
    }

    public String getAuthor(){
        return mAuthor;
    }

    public String getDescription(){
        return mDescription;
    }

    public Date mCreationDate(){
        return mCreationDate;
    }
}

And they are both in the same folder, in the same package right?
