    System.out.printIn != System.out.println()

    Upper-case I != lower-case l.

    That should generate a compiler error. What IDE are you using? I *highly* suggest using the command line to compile your code until you have a better understanding of what's going on.

    If you are running this program from command prompt, please can you type commands "javac" and "java" and check if its showing some output?

    You need to post the full text of your command prompt, starting with the javac command. Just copy any paste it here.

    You need to make sure your jdk bin is on your path. Recommended reading: Lesson: Common Problems (and Their Solutions) (The Java™ Tutorials > Getting Started)

    As per the above comment by KevinWorkman, if path is set correctly then you java program will execute successfully. Post here if you find any further issues.

    The program he posted contains compiler errors, as I pointed out.

    C:\Users\Attache Students>C:\'javac MyFirstJavaProgram.java'
    Leave off the "C:\". That tells the OS to look in the C:\ folder for the javac command.
    If the bin folder is on the PATH, you should be able to enter javac without a path:
    C:\Users\Attache Students>javac MyFirstJavaProgram.java
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Good catch. My brain just absorbed that as part of the command prompt path. I must be getting old...

    there is problem with ur java,,
    just open command prompt and
    set path of your bin

    i know it wont make any change as you have added the path to envt. variable .. but just check..

    if the same error proccedes i suggest you to use netbeans.

    If you check the compilation error, you can easily understand the issue. Check the syntax of method defination..
