The meaning of the statement are almost similar to what it sounds:-

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","path to chromedriver.exe");
// This basically sets the system property to value named webdriver.chrome.driver and the path is mentioned to get the chrome driver
Webdriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// This is basically used to create an instance of the chrome driver.

Hope you got the meaning of the statements.

How can I get this to work? Whether I am using Eclipse in Linux on my company's computer, or IntelliJ in Windows on my personal PC at home, I use the following commands:

        BaseUtil base = new BaseUtil() // class BaseUtil contains variable "public WebDriver Driver;"
        System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette", "C:\\geckodriver.exe"); // geckodriver.exe is in my C: directory
        base.Driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        // The browser window opens but the following lines are not executed before the program crashes with the error:
        // org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Timed out waiting 45 seconds for Firefox to start.
        System.out.println("I navigate to the login page.\n");
        base.Driver.navigate().to("http://www.executeautomation.com/demosite/Login.html");

Hey @Rich, could you please specify which versions of SeleniumGeckoDriver, and Firefox you are using?
