Wait I found something when I right click on the file magamar.java and select run it runs successfully, I was using the Run option on the main menu bar and when I triend using that run option it still had an error is there a difference between those two type of run commands?

Well.. if you are using NetBeans , the only reasonable way to it happens is: You was trying to run the project before you 'build/compile' it ( maybe the autobuild option is not enable or something like that ).

I am not a NetBeans expert ( I use Eclipse IDE ) so I dont know all the options for netbeans..

I am not a Java programmer, I used Perl. I have however, noticed you have not put a semicolon after your print statement.

Also reading through the above posts it sounds like your file and class name must be the same. Magama and magama are not the same.

Well, for what I understood you are a begginner at programming world, because that kind of question sounds like it.

You surely missed something about what you read and tried to really do.

I found a good site that teaches Java with Eclipse IDE: http://www.javaprogressivo.net/p/curso-completo-de-java-para-iniciantes.html

You should check this out, you will find it very useful while learning.

You suggest the guy to read a Java Course in Portuguese?

he is from Philadelphia.. don't think he will be comfortable to read a course written in Portuguese...
