    Default BlueJ trouble or program trouble (Combining Arraylists)

    I'm doing is on BlueJ and it won't work. I've waited for 15 min. It compiles and there's no error when I hit main(), but it just keeps loading. Is it my code (does it have a super slow runtime?). If it is my code, I think that it is the way I combined the two Arraylists. Is there a better way to combine the lists is ascending order?

    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.io.*; 
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class MergeInventoriesTester
    {
       private ArrayList<Product> Store1;
       private ArrayList<Product> Store2;
     
     
       private Product store1;
       private static Product store2;
       public static void main() throws FileNotFoundException
       {
           ArrayList<Product> Store1 = new ArrayList<Product>();
           ArrayList<Product> Store2 = new ArrayList<Product>();
     
           getTextFile(Store1, Store2);
           mergeArrayLists(Store1, Store2);
       }
       public static void getTextFile(ArrayList<Product> Store1, ArrayList<Product> Store2)throws FileNotFoundException
       {

           {

    it just keeps loading
    Do you mean the program goes into a loop and stops responding?
    Otherwise please explain what "keeps loading" means.

    Add some println statements that will show where the program is executing.

    If you wanna merge 2 lists, why dont you just use:
    Collections.copy(destinationList, sourceList);

    Does the copy method merge or overlay the destination list?
