Classes can be created in a few differet ways.

First, you can create them in their own file where the filename is the same as the class name (without the .java).

Second, you create a primary class (which follows the rules above) and then you add a subclass to the class. This doesn't require additional files but is "bad practice".

If you want to post some code I will help you out further.

One of the easiest ways to make your code more easy to use is to label it with "//". Though if you do it too much, your code will become cluttered and that would just defeat the purpose of it.

Why would it be a "bad practice" ?

If the second class will only be referenced by its father (classes that implement ActionListener are a good example) there is no need to put them in a separate file. And when you read back your code (or somebody else code) you know that this class is not referenced by anybodey else.
