Eclipse console not producing correct output [message #1792310]

I have an issue with Eclipse. It is not producing my desired output after I make changes to the program. For example:

package program;

public class Assignment3 {

public static void main(String[] args) {
int x = 15;
int y = 10;
int z = x + y;

System.out.println(y);
}
}

This output prints out y, which is 10. However, once I change the print statement to produce z, It remains 10.

I then restarted the IDE and It provided the correct output of 25 for z. However, If i change the print statement to provide x, it remains 25.

I feel like it isn't even trying to compile newer updates to the code, just spitting out the first print statement it receives.

I hope I explained this properly!

Do you have Project -> Build Automatically enabled/checked? If you use Show In -> Navigator on the project's context menu you'll open the Navigator view which shows a more basic file view of the project's structure, including the bin folder. So you can see the *.class files which lets you look at their Properties (from their context menu) to see when new ones are created. The Project menu also has a Clean... and that should always force new .class files to be produced.
