simple exercise for class, help please?

Hello,
I am new to programming and have had only one session of my first class. My exercise is to write a class using jgrasp to display my name.

I have this:

public class Name
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
System.out.println.("Dean");
}

}

Is this correct? I can't get jgrasp to display it without it saying there are errors.

Thank you tremendously for your help

Code:

---

System.out.println.("Dean");

---

should be

Code:

---

System.out.println("Dean");

---

Thank you very much, if anyone is familiar with jGrasp...In the menu under Settings/Path/Workspace.....what should be in the path window as my directory?

A directory where you want to be saving your java projects in.

Thank you very much, I still can't seem to get it to function properly, I'm getting this message in the bottom window....

I apologize for the lack of knowledge here, it's just a little confusing yet

You'll have to compile/build the file first.

I hit the compile button then the run button and still I'm getting the same thing....hmmm...

What output did you get from the compilation? The class file will not be created if the program still has compilation errors.

What the physical file name, i mean the file name you define when you save it?

THANKS GUYS! I finally got it...I didnt have the build path at the right address that I saved my files in....sorry, I'm new to this but you guys were awesome, thanks for the help!

If you've solve the problem, please mark thread solved from the tools menu.
