simple exercise for class, help please?

[Boomer1]

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

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

should be

System.out.println("Dean");

[Boomer1]

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?

[r035198x]

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....


----jGRASP exec: java Name

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

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

[Boomer1]

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

[r035198x]

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?

[Boomer1]

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!
