    Default Re: public file name

    Please use English

    --- Update ---

    You can save as many classes in a .java file as you like however on the top level class may be public. The top level class has to have the same name as the .java file. So HelloWorld class is saved in HelloWorld.java but you can have as many other classes in HelloWorld.java as you like as long as they are not public.
