Is there something wrong with this program or how it is compiled?

I am currently on the second tutorial (see code below):

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("Hello my name is Damon");
    console.printf("Damon is learning to write java");

} }

However when I compile it, i get the message:

Picked upmx JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m

This doesn't appear in the tutorial. THen, when I run the program using (java Introductions), it runs the program from the previous tutorial, with just the first line of text and nothing of the second. Where am I going wrong??

Here is a post regarding this particular warning by a member of Treehouse Staff. Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Also, make sure you've saved your file if it's only doing the one print.
