I am learning java using notepad(solo runner).is it possible to run all java program using notepad?
Running a Java Program from the Command Prompt. Create a simple Java program like the one below using Notepad or another text editor. Make sure to save the file with the extension “.java” rather than “.txt.”.
ex:applet,inheritance .
when we need to use package?
(I know IDE are available , but i recommend notepad due to some critical circumstances).
Questions are bit silly, but i am learning by my own. so i am using online help.

You can not run java program using notepad. However you can use command prompt if dont intend to use IDE.
e.g.

Just trying to be a little bit clearer than all the comments to your question: notepad is a simple text editor. To effectively run a Java program, you need to first compile the code you wrote in plain text, which will generate the corresponding Java bytecode, and then execute that bytecode using the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). I'd recommend you read about these 2 components, the Java compiler and the virtual machine.
Run Java Code From Notepad++
Regarding the part about packages, they're usually used to group similar or related classes, and to avoid naming conflicts (e.g. you can have class A in package X and class A in package Y, and so you'd reference each one as X.A and Y.A, respectively).
First of all, you need Notepad to just write the code and Java to compile/run.IMHO, I think if you just do a search on your own you should be able to find lots of tutorials for getting started with Java :)
I recommend you to go through some good tutorials/books so that you get a good understanding of the language.But just to answer your question, you can go through the below link to create a program in Notepad, compile and run it:
You can create simple Java programs using Notepad if you are just getting started or trying things. But it's recommended to use a good IDE like IntelliJ, Eclipse, etc if you are into serious programming as they provide you tons of features.
Create a program in notepad and save file as .java extension. e.g as hello.java. Use compiler to run the program from console. e.g javac hello.java and to run use java e.g. java hello.
