Using Java 1.3, I still get similar output:

nyap:address@hidden:~/proj/Asdf> cat Asdf.java
package Aoeu;

public class Aoeu
{
        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
                System.out.println("Yo");
        }
}
nyap:address@hidden:~/proj/Asdf> javac -classpath .
Asdf.java
Asdf.java:3: class Aoeu is public, should be declared
in a file named Aoeu.java
public class Aoeu
       ^
1 error
mv Asdf.nyap:address@hidden:~/proj/Asdf> mv
Asdf.java Asdf
nyap:address@hidden:~/proj/Asdf> javac -classpath .
Asdf/Asdf.java
Asdf/Asdf.java:3: class Aoeu is public, should be
