load PezDispenser.java ... error ?

Hi Everyone, I'm stuck at the very first. When I try to load the PezDispenser.java file into "Workspace" I get this error. --Error not a statement load PezDispenser.java --

I'm sure its something silly. :)

Hello, I clicked on the work space to load it up before trying to answer your question, and got the same problem, how I fixed it was

1) make sure you load the java repl, by typing java-repl

2) when hitting the load command be sure to put a colon in front of it, so it's actually :load PezDispenser.java, when I first did this I did just the load PezDispenser.java forgoing the ':' and it gave me the same error, however adding that symbol in front cleared it up.

Thanks!

Let me know if this helps.

Yep that worked, I forgot he " : " at the first. Silly me.

Thanks Rob.
