In Java, you can use the command-line tool javac to compile Java source code files. Make sure you have installed the JDK (Java Development Kit) first, and then enter the following command in the command line to compile the Java source code files:

javac YourJavaFile.java

This will generate a .class file in the same directory, which can then be run using the java command to execute the compiled Java program.

java YourJavaFile

In addition to using command line tools, you can also use integrated development environments (IDE) like Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, etc. to compile and run Java programs.
