I don't think that's true; Java merely enforces one _public_ class per
source file. A file can have non-public classes, although one .class
file has only one class in it (so javac will sometimes make multiple
object files from one source file). I'm not wholly sure of the
significance of public classes, though, and whether or not it's
possible to do your logical grouping and just let them be non-public.

BTW, I am not a Java fan, and I don't have any defense prepared. I
haven't actually written any serious Java code for a number of years.
Used to use it back when IBM reckoned that Java would be the big thing
that sells OS/2.
