Run java with terminal

Question

Is it possible to run in terminal java program that contains multiple files? When I'm using

javac main.java

terminal can't find any files except main.java

that is merely compiling one class, not running. it's also not looking for any class other than main, so what is the problem? — Stultuske, Jun 04 '15 at 20:17
My problem is - is it possible to compile & run this program throught terminal? — DzikiChrzan, Jun 04 '15 at 20:24
You only listed one file so only one file was compiled. Does this answer your question? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4800781/how-to-compile-multiple-java-source-files-in-command-line — MattZ, Jun 04 '15 at 20:39

First you compile your .java files

javac *.java

then you run it by typing,

java main

where main is the class with your main method, in the terminal.

But when i use 'javac main.java' I have an error "cannot find symbol" (it becouse it couldn't find class from another file). – DzikiChrzan Jun 04 '15 at 20:41
And that is why you type `javac *.java` to get all the java files within the same directory compiled together. – mattias Jun 04 '15 at 20:43
