Unable to compile

[gapper]

Hello everyone,

I am new to Java and just started coding. I wrote first class which failed to compile

public class MainClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}

I tried to compilie it using javac command from the console but got this error message:

Test.java:5: class MainClass is public, 
should be declared in a file named MainClass.java

I hope I have provided sufficient information. Kindly look into this.
