Hmm, why don't u try defining the borders for each side first before u make the code?
It'll be easier u know

Btw, the fault u got in ur code was the println(" "), thats why it creates a gap that eventually became smaller as ur code reach its end, try do a logic simulation of the code in ur notepad, ull see whats wrong, at 1st its gonna print about 10 or 11 lines first before putting a *, havent count it yet

Code:

public class exercise
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		for (int i = 1; i <=6 ; i++) //i = coordinate x
		{
			space = 6-i; //the amount of space needed
			for (int j = 1; j <= space ; j++) // j = coordinate y
			{
				System.out.println(" ");
			}
			System.out.println("*");
		}
	}
}

Hope this helps
