How to split a java class file (.java)

In my project I have many classes with many subclasses inside it, so I wanted to split them in multiple .java files like other projects that I've seen For example the miglayout open source project, there are a class named MigPane.java, and it look like it's splitted on multiple files (MigPane$subClassName.java, MigPane$subClassName2.java).

How to do like that please ?. Sorry for my bad english. Thank you.

No you can't do it. These multiple files that you are seeing in your directory or project ( like MigPane$subClassName.class) are basically the inner classes (e.g. subClassName) defined within the MigPane.java class. These nested classes are somehow linked with the enclosed classes , So you can't segregate them.

When you see class files, such as MigPane$subClassName.class it is a result of MigPane containing an inner class named subClassName. The compiler automatically compiles such a class from one source named MigPane.java to two separate files.
