Stupid problem that's really irritating me

Question

I just need help getting started here.
For an assignment, I have to create points, modify the, output the coords, etc. I can't even properly compile a program to create the 2 points. I'm not sure if its a problem with syntax, or the compiler, I have been having a difficult time setting up java properly on my computer.
Can someone please give me sample code to create 2 points, one at (2,3), and the other at (50,3)?
Thanks.

Nah, that was one I was playing around with. I took it out because I noticed what was wrong with it (well, part of what was wrong with it). I've got it working now, but it feels like I'm cheating.
This is the entire program;
import java.awt.Point;
public class pointClass {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Point point1 = new Point(2,3);
          Point point2 = new Point(50,2);
          System.out.println("Point 1 x-coord: " + point1.getX() + ", y-coord: " + point1.getY());
          System.out.println("Point 2 x-coord: " + point2.getX() + ", y-coord: " + point2.getY());
          System.out.println("Adjusting points...");
          point1.setLocation(27,14);
          point2.setLocation(11,5);
          System.out.println("Point 1 x-coord: " + point1.getX() + ", y-coord: " + point1.getY());
          System.out.println("Point 2 x-coord: " + point2.getX() + ", y-coord: " + point2.getY());
          System.out.println("Adjusting points...");
          point1.translate(6,10);
          System.out.println("Point 1 x-coord: " + point1.getX() + ", y-coord: " + point1.getY());
          System.out.println("Point 2 x-coord: " + point2.getX() + ", y-coord: " + point2.getY());
}What I'd like to do, is implement a method I could call to output the coordinates, instead of all the redundancy. I'm just not sure how to implement it.
