It won't print on the console, I just get a new line treehouse~/workspace$ any Idea what I might be doing wrong?

import java.io.Console;

public class Introductions {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
    console.printf("Hello, My name is Sebastian");
    console.printf("I am learning how to use java");

} }

Console:

treehouse:~/workspace$ javac Introductions.java
treehouse:~/workspace$ java Introductions
treehouse:~/workspace$ java Introductions
treehouse:~/workspace

Have you made sure that you saved the file first and that the file name "Introductions.java" is spelled correctly (including upper/lower casing)? Your code works fine for me.
