Hi Jaw. Well to compile the program you will run the following on any system.
and to run the application use
do not put the .class or you will get a runtime error.
javac <your app>.java
and to run the application use
java <your app>
do not put the .class or you will get a runtime error.

Compiling it should make a .class file.
I am not sure about the tool you are using, but normally it will end up in some sort of build folder. If you run javac from the command-line it will be in the same folder as the .java file. Also, the file tends to end up in a subdirectory based on the package name.
So:
package com.some.package
Will end up in:
build\com\some\package\something.class
Hope this helps.

so how do i turn a .java file into a class file?
Basically, just run the javac command.
javac <filename> example: javac c:\hello\helloworld.java

Yep, granted you have the necessary Java files installed on your computer (JDK)
