Which part is not working? In Workspaces, you can show or hide the console from the View menu.

When I ran javac Introductions.java then java Introductions I got an output of

Hello, my name is Mike
Mike is learning how to write Java

I do not work for them.

Since the treehouse prompt is on the same line, then it sounds like the code was compiled when it was saved as

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 Mike");
    }
}

with no newline character in the printf, and it was not been recompiled since.

When I forked your workspace, ran it, compiled, and ran it again, I got

treehouse:~/workspace$ java Introductions

Mike is learning how to write Java                                                               
treehouse:~/workspace$

so recompiling seems to work for me.

If you can compile and run Java locally, you don't necessarily need to use Workspaces.
