无法在Ubuntu 14.04上运行Swing程序

Question

I have to do a GUI project for a class, and I cannot run the program I'm writing. I have looked everywhere so I tried to run the simplest program:

package start; 
/*
* HelloWorldSwing.java requires no other files. 
*/
  import javax.swing.*;        

  public class HelloWorldSwing {
  /**
  * Create the GUI and show it.  For thread safety,
  * this method should be invoked from the
  * event-dispatching thread.
  */
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
    //Create and set up the window.
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloWorldSwing");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    //Add the ubiquitous "Hello World" label.
    JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
    frame.getContentPane().add(label);

    //Display the window.
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
    }

public static void main(String[] args) {
    //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
    //creating and showing this application's GUI.
    javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            createAndShowGUI();
        }
    });
    }
}

I have the java compiler, I know because when I use java -version on my terminal it returns this:

openjdk version "9-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9-internal+0-2016-04-14-195526.buildd.src)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 9-internal+0-2016-04-14-195526.buildd.src, mixed mode)

I also have the JRE.

When I compile it, I use javac start/HelloWorldSwing.java (It does compile) But when i try to run it with java start.HelloWorldSwing it returns this:

#

I would really appreciate any help I can get on this issue

Have you tried using a version of Java that is a supported release? Try openjdk 8, or download the Oracle Java 8 release (currently 8u102).
