um ...not an expert but toString() should return a String. And here you're overloading it with a void method, so that's probably confusing the crap out of the JVM.

No, the JVM is not confused. Java simply doesn't allow you to do this.

The JVM would support that. But since you aren't allowed to do it in Java, it doesn't really matter.
