Translating basic UML diagram into Java code?

Source: https://youtu.be/oOCEAjlBTZw?list=PLdQddgMBv5zHcEN9RrhADq3CBColhY2hl&t=3688
I am learning about UML Class Diagram, and it has something called an 
Association Class
 - the example being 
Supplies
 here.
Also 
Supplier
 and 
Product
 are both classes that can have 
0..N
 of each other: A 
Supplier
 class can have 
0...N
 of 
Product
 class, and vice versa.

I am currently wondering:
* How an 
Assocation Class
 can be translated into code, and how it differs from a normal class?
* How can I translate the 
0..N
 requirement between 
Supplier
 class and 
Product
 class into code? What does it mean in code? Normally I just have two Java files each with their own class, and then I can create them in the main file. But it seems that they must somehow depend on each other?
