When i want to create a java class it is generating automatically a file with the same name of class.
But when it generate a class, it can change the file name different than class name..
Am i missing something?

The language specification itself does not dictate this (I’ve just had a look, and can find no reference to it), but it’s generally enforced by tools. It makes it considerably easier for tools’ dependency management, since it knows where to look for class B if class A has a reference to it. The convention extends to the directory structure echoing the package structure, but again, this is just a convention.
