Hm. You might try just going ahead and running Eclipse to see if it works? Many computers these days have Java pre-installed.

I just took a look at some screenshots of BlueJ.
It does look like a pretty good tool for learning Java. But it's overly simplified from Eclipse. Due to that, it doesn't look like it'd be able to handle some of the stuff I want to do with this project. Therefore, it's better to just to jump into Eclipse instead of learning 2 systems.

Yeah, that was deliberate 
I actually wanted to say:
"Try to figure out this step on your own, but if you have trouble - you can click on this spoiler box for a screenshot of the solution."
But...
[/spoiler]
Spoiler boxes inside spoiler boxes don't work.
In hindsight, I should have just said: "If you have trouble - click here for the solution" and just done a regular link to the photo."
I've gone ahead and edited that into Day 3 for anyone else following through from this point on.
Also, good work Dakoth/Xander on the program - even if you didn't say hello to the world 
This is a good point to introduce one of my favorite Eclipse features: Format.
Holding control and shift and pressing F will format your code (or at least do its best) into the way Java professionals like to format code. You can also click on the "source" menu and find it about a third of the way down the dropdown menu.
The difference you'll see happen is you'll see your ending bracket move from the end of the line, where both of you currently have it, onto its own line.
This makes it easier to see that section of code as... a section.
