.java on JavaFiddle
Hi, thanks for the great tools that you guys are building. Is it possible to create classes in .java files in the javafiddle and run the code? Could someone give me an example?
Thanks

Hi and welcome to the community. Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve? JavaFiddle compiles .java files and runs them in the browser exactly as you describe.
Java fiddle is open source as well, so you can take the code as an example: https://github.com/leaningtech/javafiddle

wow, thanks for the quick reply. I am trying to create a class and use that in Main, however I get the error that the class needs to be in a file with the same name ending in .java so I am wondering if there is an example for such a case that works.
I am sorry I am still unsure about what you trying to achieve exactly? Are you using our JavaFiddle or are you trying to make your own?
Can you share logs or screenshot to help us understand?

OK I figured out, the issue is about changing file names in the tabs
Thanks for the confirmation that it should work
👍
I'll also ask the team to rename the created classes.
Class is a very bad choice.true, it is confusing, but also rename working could reduce confusion 😎
That is a non obvious problem since the class name can be used in many places and in many ways
Out of scope for a demo like JavaFiddle
From UX perspective maybe it would be good enough to not allow rename and show a cheep alert or something. would have saved you some time with me 😀
