That sounds like the well known god class anti-pattern, one of the most
common programming mistakes. It makes testing hard, debugging harder and
unit tests almost impossible. It is basically the opposite of any good OOP
advice.

You should take a look at some Java code conventions (I recommend the
Google ones now that the Oracle ones are 'deprecated'). Class names should
start with upper case letters, variable names should be camel cased, and
your use of spaces is mostly wrong, making your code hard to read for
anyone who has programmed in Java before.
