I think this is an excellent question!
I found that when a class that does not have a prefix "public" it can reside
in any source file, vice versa is not true. It is specially weird on
Win95 machine with the file convention.
For example: a file name helloworld.java with the following code.
import java.applet.Applet;
public class HelloWorld extends Applet
{
...
}
if you type javac helloworld.java, the compiler comes back and tell you
that HelloWorld class must defined in a source file call HelloWorld.java
However, if you type javac HelloWorld.java (Windows 95 is not case sensitive
on file name), it will work fine.
I do not see the significance of requiring the source file name the same as
the class name when the class declared as public. I have not yet look
into Java's language specification. May be James or Author can answer this
question.
Thanx
