Since the treehouse prompt is on the same line, then it sounds like the code was compiled when it was saved as
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 Mike");
}
}
with no newline character in the printf, and it was not been recompiled since.
When I forked your workspace, ran it, compiled, and ran it again, I got
treehouse:~/workspace$ java Introductions
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Hello, my name is Miketreehouse:~/workspace$ javac Introductions.java
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
treehouse:~/workspace$ java Introductions
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Hello, my name is Mike
Mike is learning how to write Java
treehouse:~/workspace$
so recompiling seems to work for me.
If you can compile and run Java locally, you don't necessarily need to use Workspaces.
