Why does java compiler generates multiple .class files for single Java File?
I have written some Java code Deadlock.java, on compiling this it generated multiple classes
Named Deadlock$someNumber.class.
Why does this happen?
What is the significance of it?
I beleive it usually does that when you use anonymous inner classes. Each of those classes will get a class file but as you declared no name for them , it gets a number. So any unnamed class declaration you created (perhaps for Runnable or Listeners etc) is probably creating those.
