String message_one = "Hello!";
String message_two = "World!";

message_one points to a object having a value "Hello!"
message_two points to a object having a value "World!"

So value of message_one is "Hello!" and value of message_two is "World!"

message_two = message_one;

message_two points to the object which message_one points and the old object having the value "World!" is disconnected from message_two and the object haveing value "Hello!" is connected to message_two.

Now the value of message_one and message_two both are "Hello!"

message_one = scan.nextLine();

Now a new object is assigned to message_one.

Accordeing to your information the value of the new object is

This is a test sentence.

So Now message_one points to the new object having the value This is a test sentence. and was disconnected from the object having value "Hello!". And the message_two is unchanged so it remains point to the same object which is having the value "Hello!"

Now the value of message_one is "This is a test sentence".
And the value of message_two is "Hello!"

Is it clear now?

I was told i was suppose to to set some path but i am not sure where it is.

In the command prompt type: set path=%path%;<java_home>/bin; The <java_home> is the path/directory where the java was installed.

For example, the java is installed in C:\java,

The java_home is C:\java and the path is c:\java\bin.
