Hi,
I am new to Java.
I am running Netbeans IDE 8.2 with Java Platform Standard Edition 8.
I am completing the 'Hello World' first program challenge detailed here:
CodeChallenge
Challenge Day 0: Hello, World.
I don't want to issue a spoiler, in case anyone else is doing this, but i have added to the class the line of required code that prints the contents of the variable 'inputString' to stdout.
I have submitted the answer via the online tool which tests the code and the code is correct.
However, on my machine (Windows 7 X64 with set up as above), the code builds successfully but when i run it, it just keeps running and print nothing out.
I can see the task running bar at the bottom turn from green to blue but then it just keeps running and the progress bar doesn't progress.
I have searched the web and followed instructions such as:
uncheck "Compile on save" setting in the project properties (Build -> Compiling).
I have checked my steps against the following:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/netbeans.html
I am wondering if this is a configuration problem as the code itself appears to be correct.
Any advice greatly appreciated,
Quentin
