When I compiled an empty Java file it didn’t produce any class file. So I want to know how compiler react when compiling an empty Java file? I thought it should generate an empty class file in this case, but it did not. So why it didn’t?

javacstarts, sees there is no class declared in the file, and finishes. In order for a.classfile to be created you must at least have the class declaration in the file.
