It is not legal to have a class named java.

// File java.java

package pkg1;

public class java {
  public static void main(String[] argv) {
    System.out.println("java ran");
  }
}


Compiling with Sun's javac produces an error.


% javac java.java 
java.java:3: Cyclic class inheritance or scoping.
public class java {
             ^
java.java:3: Superclass pkg1.java. lang.Object of class pkg1.java not found.
public class java {
             ^
